A recent search on nimble yielded the following and led me to play a bit with the first, lilt. Here are my impressions.

lilt

Relatively well documented
Straightforward to use
However, author has stated that it is buggy and they are not actively working on it see here

combparser

Docs are not hosted anywhere
Appears not to have seen a lot of development, based on number of commits and most recent commit.
I have not however tried it.

Hello, I'm the author of Lilt. @auxym has linked to my current stance, but I want to reiterate it here. Because Lilt was originally created "just for fun", I stopped development once I realized I had nothing to use it for. However, I think the design of Lilt turned out quite nice and I would be open to continuing development if people want to use it.

combparser works fairly well, it's used in my protobuf-nim project. Haven't developed much more on it since it's fairly complete in terms of functionality.

tajmone commented 5 years ago

The combparser project doesn't appear to bear an open source license.

@tajmone, my bad, it's supposed to be MIT

tajmone commented 5 years ago

Thanks for the clarification @PMunch ! MIT is great, especially if it's going to become the base for a library that could make it to the official libraries.
