# cltk [](https://travis-ci.org/ziprandom/cltk)
This is a port of the [Ruby Language Toolkit](https://github.com/chriswailes/RLTK) to the [Crystal Programming Language](http://crystal-lang.org/).
**CLTK (like RLTK) is:** a collection of classes and methods designed to help programmers create languages in an easy to use and straightforward manner. This toolkit provides the following features:
* 2 Lexer generators based on [PCRE Regexps from crystals STD Lib](https://ziprandom.github.io/cltk/CLTK/Lexer.html) and a [second faster one](https://ziprandom.github.io/cltk/CLTK/Scanner.html) based on the [crystal-dfa](https://github.com/ziprandom/crystal-dfa) DFA automaton implementation
* Parser generator
* AST node baseclass
* Class for representing context free grammars
In addition, CLTK includes several ready-made lexers and parsers. As well as a [serialization mechanism](https://github.com/ziprandom/cltk/blob/master/src/cltk/parser/crystalize.cr#L24) that renders a finalized parser back into crystal syntax to compile it without having to be finalized again at startup (see [exp_lang_repl](examples/exp_lang/exp_lang_repl.cr) for a usage example).
To see what works have a look at the specs or run them with:
```crystal
$ crystal spec
```
The Implementation has been strongly altered but the API is compatible to RLTK. The LLVM Bindings has not been ported. Instead crystals own LLVM Bindings were used in [`examples/kazoo/chapter 8/kcontractor.cr`](https://github.com/ziprandom/cltk/blob/master/examples/kazoo/chapter_8/kcontractor.cr)
## Usage
To use the toolkit in your project add this to your application's `shard.yml`:
```yaml
dependencies:
cltk:
github: ziprandom/cltk
```
### Examples
See the example languages (and their specs):
* **interpreted language EXP_LANG** (`examples/exp_lang`)
* **kazoo** (`examples/kazoo/chapter 8`) with LLVM IR generation
* **brainfuck** (`examples/brainfuck`)
* **json_parser** (`examples/json_parser`) example of a linter / xml converter
