A Peggy.js Tutorial - Strumenta

Peggy is the successor of peg.js, an open-source library for writing parsers in JavaScript. It’s based on parsing expression grammars or PEGs, hence the name. PEGs are a powerful parsing formalism with a gentler learning curve than many alternatives, so Peggy is particularly well suited for developers with little experience with parsers.
