Virtual Meetup – Igor Dejanović

Abstract

textX (https://github.com/textX/textX) is a Python parsing library specifically geared towards DSL development. It is inspired by xText and features a similar meta-language. From a grammar definition, textX will dynamically create a meta-model of the language and the parser (interpreted style, no code generation). The parser is used to parse textual programs/models and transform them into abstract representations that are shaped according to the grammar provided (i.e. the meta-model).

In this presentation Igor will demonstrate usage of textX ranging from a small hello world example to complex DSLs. He will show how textX can be utilized by Python programmers to quickly build parsers, languages, and code generators.
