I have been writing Java code to parse SMTP, making up code to solve each new problem I face, but I suspect there may be some theory about parsing languages (and protocols?) which it would do me well to know and employ. So I am hoping that somebody on this list might recommend a book.
From a course in translators (COMP 240, UNC-CH, 19 years ago) I remember learning a systematic way that a grammar could be turned into code. That seemed so intellectually satisfying that I keep hoping that a refresher course (or a good book) will render me able to systematically produce code to parse protocols.
I am looking at _The Theory of Parsing, Translation, and Compiling_, Volume 1: Parsing, by Aho and Ullman, 1972. It is in the general ballpark. But I'd prefer something more applied (to Internet protocols if possible) and more up to date.
Any suggestions?
Thank you, Rich Hammer
