	A toolkit for defining programming languages and DSLs in Kotlin.



## About

Even though programming languages are constantly evolving to provide new ways of

expressing program code, tools for writing compilers seldom make use of these

features, instead mimicking the interface of the old tools _lex_ and _yacc_.

_klang_ uses a completely new approach. Instead of defining the syntax of your

language in a separate file, you can simply do everything in your regular

Kotlin code.

This library revolutionizes the way you build software. Creating a DSL is

as easy as including klang and writing a few lines of code.

## Building

Because the library is still in early development, there are no artifacts in

public repositories.

To build, you will first need to install the component [klang-re](https://github.com/j-jzk/klang-re):

```sh

$ git clone https://github.com/j-jzk/klang-re.git

$ cd klang-re

$ ./mvnw install  # saves klang-re.jar into the local Maven cache

```

Then you can build this library:

```sh

$ git clone https://github.com/j-jzk/klang.git

$ cd klang

$ ./gradlew build

```

The resulting JAR will be in klang/build/libs/klang-``.jar.
