Generic input parsing library, speaking in tongues.

parselglossy generates a fully functional Python input parsing module from a simple YAML template specification. The parser has no dependencies on external Python packages. The documentation for all input keywords is also generated in reStructuredText format from the YAML specification.

• Free software: MIT license
• Documentation: https://parselglossy.readthedocs.io.

• Python 3.7 or later.

• Flexible. It can accommodate different input styles and still generate correct parsers. This is achieved by decoupling input reading and validation.
• Extensible. We work with standard Python types and standard JSON format. Interfacing and extending to your needs is straightforward.
• Simple. Just provide an input specification in YAML format: names of keywords/sections, defaults, documentation. The tedious bits are automatically handled for you.
• Correct. parselglossy gives two correctness guarantees:
  1. If the YAML specification is valid, the generated parser will be correct.
  2. If validation completes, the input to your application is well-formed.

• MRChem
