 Description: Acmeist PEG Parser Framework
- (no description was found)
+ Pegex is an Acmeist parser framework. It allows you to easily create parsers
+ that will work equivalently in lots of programming languages! The inspiration
+ for Pegex comes from the parsing engine upon which the postmodern programming
+ language Perl 6 is based on. Pegex brings this beauty to the other
+ *just*modern languages that have a normal regular expression engine
+ available.
  .
- This description was automagically extracted from the module by dh-make-perl.
+ Pegex gets it name by combining Parsing Expression Grammars (PEG), with
+ Regular Expessions (Regex). That's actually what Pegex does.
+ .
+ PEG is the cool new way to elegantly specify recursive descent grammars. The
+ Perl 6 language is defined in terms of a self modifying PEG language called
+ Perl 6 Rules. Regexes are familiar to programmers of most modern programming
+ languages. Pegex defines a simple PEG syntax, where all the terminals are
+ regexes. This means that Pegex can be quite fast and powerful.
+ .
+ Pegex attempts to be the simplest way to define new (or old) Domain Specific
+ Languages (DSLs) that need to be used in several programming languages and
+ environments. Things like JSON, YAML, Markdown etc. It also great for writing
+ parsers/compilers that only need to work in one language.
