@smotaal/tokenizer v0.0.7

SMotaal's Tokenizer

Nestable syntax tokenizer using Regular Expressions.

What it tries to do

• Provide simplified mechisms for defining syntaxes.
• Provide a way to work with tokens directly from strings.
• Provide a highlighter-inspired WYSIWYG for debugging.

What it does NOT try to do

• Everything else for now

Important Note: This package is designed for ECMAScript module supporting runtimes, including all major browsers and Node.js 12 or later.

See Changelog.

Getting Started

import {Parser} from '@smotaal/tokenizer/tokenizer.js';
import {javascript} from '@smotaal/grammar/javascript/javascript-grammar.js';

const parser = new Parser();
export const {modes, mappings} = parser;
parser.register(javascript);

parser.tokenize('/* source */', {sourceType: 'javascript'});

import {Parser, extensions} from '@smotaal/tokenizer/tokenizer.extended.js';
const parser = new Parser();

export const {modes, mappings} = parser;

for (const id in extensions.modes) parser.register(extensions.modes[id]);

parser.tokenize('/* source */', {sourceType: 'javascript'});
