Spirit

======

Spirit is a set of C++ libraries for parsing and output generation implemented as 

Domain Specific Embedded Languages (DSEL) using Expression templates and Template 

Meta-Programming. The Spirit libraries enable a target grammar to be written 

exclusively in C++. Inline grammar specifications can mix freely with other 

C++ code and, thanks to the generative power of C++ templates, are immediately 

executable.

### Spirit.X3 (3rd generation)

[Documentation](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/libs/spirit/doc/x3/html/index.html)

The newest Spirit shines faster compile times. Currently only a parser framework.

*WARNING*: C++14 compilers support will be dropped soon.

Spirit X3 in Boost 1.81 (scheduled to November 2022) will use C++17 features.

Supported compilers will be:

* Clang 4 (currently 3.6)

* GCC 7 (currently 5)

* VS 2017 v15.8 (currently 2015 U3)

### Spirit V2 (2nd generation)

[Documentation](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/libs/spirit/doc/html/index.html)

The latest Long Term Support version of Spirit. A Swiss Army knife for data

manipulation on any kind of input.

Consists of:

  - [Qi]: Parser framework.

  - [Karma]: Generator framework.

  - [Lex]: Lexical analyzer framework.

  

Runs on most C++03 compilers (GCC 4.1, Clang 3.0, VS 2005).

### Spirit.Classic (1st generation)

[Documentation](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/libs/spirit/classic/index.html)

An elderling member of Spirit. It receives only limited maintanance, but

it is still used even inside Boost by [Boost.Serialization] and [Boost.Wave]

libraries. It also contains Phoenix V1.

Spririt.Classic should support even ancient compilers.
