I know nothing about compiler design or compiler parsing. How broadly applicable are the chapters on parsing? Will it make the average programmer instantly more equipped to, say, write a robust JSON parser?
- sanxiyn 3y agoYes.
- kaba0 3y agoI’m not convinced that it would actually be particularly good as a parsing book either. But the average programmer should just use a CSV parser lib, why reinvent the wheel? For custom tasks learning about ANTLR is much more productive (a good parser generator)
- jobhdez 3y agoI think you would have the knowledge to build a parser generator that then you can use to write a parser for json. But you can also also just learn how to use a parser generator. You’ll have to know a little bit about regular expressions for this
