*cpp-peglib* tries to provide more expressive parsing experience in a simple way. This library depends on only one header file. So, you can start using it right away just by including `peglib.h` in your project.
The PEG syntax is well described on page 2 in the [document](http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/papers/parsing:popl04.pdf). *cpp-peglib* also supports the following additional syntax for now:
The PEG syntax is well described on page 2 in the [document](http://www.brynosaurus.com/pub/lang/peg.pdf). *cpp-peglib* also supports the following additional syntax for now:
* `<` ... `>` (Token boundary operator)
* `$<` ... `>` (Capture operator)
* `$name<` ... `>` (Named capture operator)
* `~` (Ignore operator)
* `\x20` (Hex number char)
* `$<` ... `>` (Capture operator)
* `$name<` ... `>` (Named capture operator)
This library also supports the linear-time parsing known as the [*Packrat*](http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/~baford/packrat/thesis/thesis.pdf) parsing.

Make a parser with parser operators

Make a parser with parser combinators
-------------------------------------
Instead of makeing a parser by parsing PEG syntax text, we can also construct a parser by hand with *parser operators*. Here is an example:

Unicode support
---------------
Since cpp-peglib only accepts 8 bits characters, it probably accepts UTF-8 text. But `.` matches only a byte, not a Unicode character. Also, it dosn't support `\u????`.
