Sample grammars in FParsec going beyond the samples?

I am looking for some sample grammars written in FParsec that would go beyond the samples in the project repository.

I have found this very nice grammar of GLSL, but this is the only sample I found. What I need is a grammar for a language similar to C or JavaScript.

Solution

  • Luca Bolognese has written a great series of Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours in F# where he used FParsec for parsing. The full source code with detailed test cases are online here.

    The most relevant post is 6th one where he talked about parsing a simple Lisp-like language. This language is closer to JavaScript than to C just so you know.

    Current series on his blog is parsing lambda expressions in F# (using FParsec) which could be helpful for you too.
