4 CL-Opossum is a Packrat-style parser generator for Parsing Expression Grammars.
5 It can bootstrap itself (using pegparser-boot.lisp to parse opossum.peg),
6 but was written mainly as a general-purpose tool for lispers to quickly
7 write reasonably efficent parsers in lisp, without the hassle of separating
8 lexial and syntactic analysis.
10 The code was inspired (and initially bootstrapped) by John Leuner's
11 experimental metapeg library, but does not share significant code with it.
