 Description   

Prepare a presentation for the team about tools which ingest a grammar and output parsers for it. The most interesting questions are:

  1. What do these tools look like? What features do they have? What's the input/output?
  2. Your experience with these tools. What was George's skunkworks project like?
  3. How we may or may not be able to get them to ingest BSON.

One possible outline is:

  • Parser generators: Typical goals, input/outputs, some example names, maybe some glimpse at code
  • Contrast to IDL: What's similar, what's different
  • Your previous experience at other companies/projects (if you know where we may find others in the company using them, that would be interesting)
  • George's skunkwork project and results
  • Lexing BSON (I think this was left as follow-up for George's project?)
  • Compare/contrast which tools are best candidates should we use one (e.g. how does ANTLR compare to Bison)
