  1. parser

    A parser is a computer program or software component that translates input data into a data structure or object. This input is typically a sequence of characters, often in the form of a document or file, and the output, often called a parse tree or abstract syntax tree, represents the information in a hierarchical structure. Parsers are widely used in programming languages and data processing, where they interpret strings of text based on predefined grammatical rules. This ensures the correct formatting and structure of code or data and allows for easier manipulation or analysis.

  1. Parser

    Parser is a free server-side CGI web scripting language developed by Art. Lebedev Studio and released under the GPL. Originally, Parser was merely a simple macro processing language. The latest 3rd revision introduced object-oriented programming features. The compiler for the language was developed in C++ by studio employees Konstantin Morshnev and Alexander Petrosyan to automate often repeated tasks, especially maintenance of already existing websites. It was used in many web projects of the studio. Since revision 3 it was released as free software and it is now used in other websites, mostly in Russia. The language supports technologies needed for common web design tasks: XML, Document Object Model, Perl Compatible Regular Expressions and others.
