Overview

Awesome Pest is an open, community-maintained list of links related to the pest parser generator for Rust. It focuses on discovering learning materials, libraries, tools, and real-world projects that use pest and its parsing expression grammar (PEG) approach.

pest itself is a general-purpose parser written in Rust, designed around:

• Accessibility – readable grammars and approachable syntax.
• Correctness – reliable parsing for complex languages.
• Performance – efficient parsing using PEG-based grammars.

The list is curated and contributions are encouraged via documented contribution guidelines and a code of conduct.

• Highlights usage of parsing expression grammars (PEG) for defining grammars.
• Emphasizes pest’s strengths:
  • Readable grammar definitions.
  • Ability to parse complex languages beyond regular expressions.
  • General-purpose applicability in Rust projects.

Community & Governance

• Open contributions via a public contributing.md guide.
• Community standards defined in a code-of-conduct.md file.

Tooling & Debugging

While full details are in the repository, the presence of debugger.md indicates:

• Dedicated documentation for pest-related debugging tools.
• Guidance or references for debugging grammars or parsers built with pest.

These tools are likely included or referenced in the "Tooling" section of the awesome list.
