A
parser is a routine or program that analyses the structure of some input according to a formal grammar.
Examples would be various
XML parsers, a
BibTeX parser, and the parser for Tcl itself.

Description edit
Almost all programs include parsers - at least if they read a file and process it to perform a (possibly useful) action. Excel, Word, OpenOffice, Photoshop and so on all contain parsers.
Now-a-days parsers are most often generated directly from grammar specifications instead of written by hand. Applications for doing so are called
parser generators.
Tcl Script Parsers edit
- parsetcl, by Lars H
- a community favorite
- ptparser, by Salvatore Sanfilippo
- comes from the Sugar macro system, but can be useful alone.
- A Tcl parser in Tcl, by George Peter Staplin
- tclparser
- an extension written in C (part of TclPro), is a lightweight wrapper around core parsing routines
- XotclIDE
- includes IDETclParser for Tcl scripts. used for syntax highlighting and checking
- Naive Tcl parser, by Colin McCormack
- spjuth-parse
- A branch of Tcl that adds tcl::parsecommand, tcl::parseexpr.
- Tcl C API
- includes a set of Tcl_Parse*() functions
- [testparser]
- ships with the core, in Tcltest (see definition of TestparserObjCmd in generic/tclTest.c, and tests/parse.test). This doesn't seem to be well exposed for use in scripts, though it is used for testing the core parsing routines
- The dgp-refactor branch
- contains improvements to the Tcl parser that eliminate quadratic reparsing of every nested script, and produce complete parse trees.
- scriptSplit, cmdSplit, and wordparts
- not full parsers, but useful for splitting scripts, commands and words into their components.
- ycl parse tcl stream, by PYK
- Incrementally parse a Tcl script from a channel.
