Main Features

Earley parser, capable of parsing any context-free grammar
- Implements SPPF, for efficient parsing and storing of ambiguous grammars.
LALR(1) parser, limited in power of expression, but very efficient in space and performance (O(n)).
- Implements a parse-aware lexer that provides a better power of expression than traditional LALR implementations (such as ply).
EBNF-inspired grammar, with extra features (See: Grammar Reference)
Builds a parse-tree (AST) automagically based on the grammar
Stand-alone parser generator - create a small independent parser to embed in your project.
Automatic line & column tracking (for both tokens and matched rules)
Automatic terminal collision resolution
Standard library of terminals (strings, numbers, names, etc.)
Unicode fully supported
Extensive test suite
MyPy support using type stubs
Python 2 & Python 3 compatible
Pure-Python implementation

Extra features

Import rules and tokens from other Lark grammars, for code reuse and modularity.
Import grammars from Nearley.js
