Hi, I’m new to the list and I can see by the member names that I am a novice
venturing into expert waters. I am the developer of APG – an ABNF Parser
Generator. It is a project that began as a learning curiosity but has
improved with successive releases. I am about to release version 5.0, and in
that release I am claiming that APG 5.0 parsers and PEG recognize the same
set of languages. This result, if true, is surprising to me, since APG
starts with a context-free grammar formalism and PEG makes a point of not.
The argument is heuristic, not mathematical, but the result looks almost
obvious on the face of it. I’m guessing this is either already known or I’m
missing the point somewhere. I don’t want to make false claims or erroneous
representations of PEG, so your criticisms and comments would be welcome,
should you be interested in taking a look at it. You can find the discussion
and the software at the temporary locations:
