Pegex::Bootstrap(3pm)

✨ Pegex::Bootstrap ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to Pegex::Bootstrap — the Bootstrapping Compiler for a Pegex Grammar 💖 this is a page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, and honestly? she's a little legend. let's get into it 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Pegex::Bootstrap;
my $grammar_text = '... grammar text ...';
my $pegex_compiler = Pegex::Bootstrap->new();
my $grammar_tree = $pegex_compiler->compile($grammar_text)->tree;

that's the whole vibe fr fr — load it, hand it some grammar text, and it hands you back a tree 🌳

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so the tea ☕ the Pegex language is defined in Pegex. and like… to actually do that, somebody had to make a bootstrap compiler that did the exact same thing. why?? because that way they could slowly build up the grammar, and make sure that the 2 compilers do the same thing 👯‍♀️ no cap, that's the whole strategy.

and here's the thing — parsing the Pegex language itself is not terribly hard, so this module just does it by hand. iconic honestly. main character energy.

⚠️ real talk: unless you are working on Pegex itself, you can ignore this module. literally just walk past her, she's doing her own thing 💀
