About This Tool
Core capabilities include syntax validation, undefined symbol detection, duplicate productions, and left-recursion warnings. It supports common EBNF forms such as group (), optional [], repetition {}, and alternation |, and can flag potential issues like missing terminators or mismatched brackets. An advanced mode can report potential ambiguities and generate a simplified parse outline.
Intended to assist grammar authors, tool integrators, and educators by delivering actionable error details and a machine-readable result set. The tool does not execute grammars or generate code; it strictly validates syntax and structure to improve reliability of downstream parsers and documentation.
How to Use
- Provide grammar_text input with your EBNF grammar and optional dialect.\n
- Trigger validation to parse and analyze the grammar.\n
- Review errors, undefined references, and the production map for correctness.\n
- Iterate: fix issues and re-run until validation passes.\n
- Export results as JSON for integration with parser generators or documentation.
