# `pybibtex`: a (very) simple BibTeX parser

Provides a Python API to parse BibTeX files.

Not to be confused with the (actual) [`pybibtex`](https://github.com/rasbt/pybibtex), which uses REGEX, while this implementation use an actual LL(1) parser (less error-prone, normally).

The BiBTeX syntax is introduced, simply, [there](https://www.bibtex.com/g/bibtex-format/).

More details are found in [`btxdoc`](https://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/doc/) (and some of its quirks are examplified [here](http://artis.imag.fr/~Xavier.Decoret/resources/xdkbibtex/bibtex_summary.html)).

This implementation handles the different syntax for the items (braces or parentheses), the comments, and the concatenation (with the `@string` definitions).

It does not handle `@preamble`.

## Install & use

```bash

pip3 install --upgrade git+https://github.com/pierre-24/[email protected]

```

No dependencies are required (except python >= 3.6).

See the documentation [there](https://pierre-24.github.io/pybibtex/usage/) demonstrating the (quite simple) API.
