parboiled2 is a Scala 2.10.3+ library enabling lightweight and easy-to-use, yet powerful, fast and elegant parsing of arbitrary input text. It implements a macro-based parser generator for Parsing Expression Grammars (PEGs), which runs at compile time and translates a grammar rule definition (written in an internal Scala DSL) into corresponding JVM bytecode.
parboiled2 is the successor of parboiled 1.x , which provides a similar capability (for Scala as well as Java) but does not actually generate a parser. Rather parboiled 1.x interprets a rule tree structure (which is also created via an internal DSL) against the input, which results in a much lower parsing performance.
