What it is#
Parser generators produce code, and code you extend by forking. tabnas compiles a grammar into a rule table instead: a state machine as data. To extend a language you add rules to the table, and because the rules are data, an agent can write them as readily as a person can.
One grammar file drives both implementations, TypeScript and Go, so a format parses the same way in both. It ships parsers for JSON, YAML, TOML, CSV, INI, XML, Markdown, CSS, C and Protocol Buffers among others. It also compiles RFC 5234 ABNF, the grammar notation the internet's own standards are written in, straight into a working parser.
It started as jsonic, an attempt at a more forgiving JSON parser, and became an extensible one along the way. It is the parser under the rest of the Voxgig toolchain: apidef reads OpenAPI through it, and aontu is built on it.
