What is the "easiest" way to parse D code?

libdparse seems to do it as well with `parseModule` function.

I recommend libdparse.
dmd has to do it somewhere as well. Although I don't know
exactly where. I do know ldc uses dmd's frontend for parsing.

DMD as a library is still experimental. You can try to use it,
but libdparse is more stable.
I am also a little confused about who uses what. Does D-Scanner
use libdparse?
Yes, most tools that parse D code do, including Adam's
documentation generator: https://github.com/adamdruppe/adrdox
Only LDC, GDC and VisualD use the dmd front-end as far as I know.
Is there a D grammar for pegged?

Not complete and outdated, but it's a start:
