  1. Kiama

Kiama is a Scala library for language processing. In the Kiama project we are investigating embedding of language processing formalisms such as grammars, parsers, rewriters and analysers into general-purpose programming languages.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Kiama is a research project, it's early days and the code is undergoing heavy development, so many details will change. Consult with us before you rely on it for serious work. We make no guarantees about the features or performance of the Kiama library if you do choose to use it.

Kiama is currently concentrating on incorporating existing language processing formalisms, so credit goes to the original developers of those formalisms. See the code for details of the sources of ideas that come from elsewhere.

Many of the library rewriting strategies are based on the Stratego library. See http://releases.strategoxt.org/docs/api/libstratego-lib/stable/docs/.
