#
# This example demonstrates parsing using the dynamic-lexer earley frontend
#
# Using a lexer for configuration files is tricky, because values don't
# have to be surrounded by delimiters. Using a standard lexer for this just won't work.
#
# In this example we use a dynamic lexer and let the Earley parser resolve the ambiguity.
#
# Another approach is to use the contextual lexer with LALR. It is less powerful than Earley,
# but it can handle some ambiguity when lexing and it's much faster.
# See examples/conf_lalr.py for an example of that approach.
