@ankitpati, these are some useful docs for adding parsers from Exuberant CTags 
project (which Universal CTags is a fork of), I presume they mostly still apply:

http://ctags.sourceforge.net/parser.html
http://ctags.sourceforge.net/EXTENDING.html

There's this VIM config file which shows the command-line based custom Swift 
regex parser some people use (no idea how well it works), which could be ported 
to a compiled regexp parser as per above docs:

https://github.com/keith/swift.vim/commit/5d5f81483d1ecc611c0dcd2846aab872f02ab074

According to @b4n the main limitation with a regexp-based parser is that it 
can't handle stuff like scope information, while a character-based parser can 
support this since it can maintain own state during the parse, if I understood 
correctly.
