Aims of the project

The PhoenixFileParser project aims to provide a powerful and flexible C++ library dedicated to parsing configuration and data files used in scientific workflows. Its design focuses on extensibility, allowing users to adapt parsing rules and tokenization to various file formats. By supporting advanced features such as nested calls, variable replacement, and multi-file inclusion, PhoenixFileParser facilitates the integration and validation of complex data structures. The library emphasizes clear error reporting and location tracking to simplify debugging, while ensuring high performance and reliability for large-scale data processing tasks. Its seamless compatibility with other Phoenix libraries makes it an essential component for scientific computing environments.

Key objectives include:

  • Provide a robust and extensible C++ library for parsing configuration and data files.
  • Support advanced parsing features such as nested calls, variable replacement, and multi-file inclusion.
  • Facilitate integration with other Phoenix libraries and scientific workflows.
  • Offer clear error reporting and location tracking for debugging and validation.
  • Enable easy customization of parsing rules and tokenization for various file formats.
  • Ensure high performance and reliability for large-scale data processing.
