PS. Here's all you have to learn in order to write or read a PEG grammar. A B C A followed by B followed by C A | B A or B (ordered choice) A+ one or more As A* zero or more As A? optional A !A not followed by A &A followed by A (but does not consume A) (A B) grouping . matches any character 'x' matches the character 'x' "string" matches the string "string" [a-z] matches a character from 'a' to 'z' English could be used to specify how a semantic value is to be constructed for each matching rule. This part would be implemented differently in different languages, but the basic PEG grammar would be the same.
