Use Gunther Rademacher's rail road diagram web-service. Thanks to him :+1: :

Hi Yann,

thank you for your email. Glad to know that you like RR.

Indeed you can feed it a GET or POST request. You might want to watch what requests are actually sent, e.g. by using the Firefox network console.

Here is a minimal example:

http://bottlecaps.de/rr/ui?ebnf=S::=%27hello%27%20%27world%27

That would be for showing the grammar within the tool within a browser. For just getting the SVG diagram page, additionally use the 'frame=diagram' parameter:

http://bottlecaps.de/rr/ui?ebnf=S::=%27hello%27%20%27world%27&frame=diagram

All the best for your parser development. In case you are interested, I am also running a parser generator using similar grammar notation:

Best regards, Gunther
