<h4 style="margin-top: 0px; font-style: italic;">It parses stuff!</h4>

<p>
[$ident|Goldie$] is a series of
[$link| https://bitbucket.org/Abscissa/goldie/src/v0.8/LICENSE.txt | open-source $]
parsing tools, including an optional
[$link| http://www.d-programming-language.org/ | D programming language $]
library called [$ident|GoldieLib$].
Goldie is compatible with
[$pageLink|OtherTools#GOLD| GOLD Parser Builder $]
and can be used either together with it, or as an alternative to it.

<h3 style="margin-bottom: 0px;">Some of Goldie's benefits:</h3>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; font-size: 0.9em; font-style: italic;">
	(most are thanks to Goldie's compatibility with GOLD Parser Builder)
</p>
<ul class="info-list">
<li>
	<h4>Grammars are fully reusable</h4>
	<div class="info-list-info">
	No need to create a new grammar for every purpose and every host language.
	Many grammars are
	[$link|http://goldparser.org/grammars/index.htm| already available $].
	</div>
</li>
<li>
	<h4>Grammar-agnostic engine</h4>
	<div class="info-list-info">
	One lexer/parser engine can be used for all grammars.
	</div>
</li>
<li>
	<h4>Engines for nearly any language or platform</h4>
	<div class="info-list-info">
	A cross-platform
	[$link| http://www.d-programming-language.org/ | D $]-hosted
	engine is included via [$pageLink|APIOver| GoldieLib $].
	Engines for many other platforms are
	[$pageLink|OtherTools#EngineLinks| also available $].
	New engines are easy to write.
	</div>
</li>

	<h4>Static-Style</h4>
	<div class="info-list-info">
	[$pageLink|StatVsDyn| Static-style $] provides compile-time checks and extra type-safety.
	</div>
</li>
<li>
	<h4>Dynamic-Style</h4>
	<div class="info-list-info">
	[$pageLink|StatVsDyn| Dynamic-style $] lets you write programs that support user-created grammars.

</li>
<li>
	<h4>Lexing and parsing</h4>
	<div class="info-list-info">
	Lexing and parsing are defined
	[$pageLink|Grammar| in the same file $]
	and handled by one unified tool.
	</div>
</li>
<li>
	<h4>Many tools available</h4>

Goldie is fully-usable and has been tested on both Windows and Linux
(it should also work on OSX and any other platform supported by DMD,
but has not been tested),
although GoldieLib's API is still subject to change. Goldie is licensed under
[$link| https://bitbucket.org/Abscissa/goldie/src/v0.8/LICENSE.txt |The zlib/libpng License$].
