-Pegex is an Acmeist parser framework. It allows you to easily create parsers
-that will work equivalently in lots of programming languages! The inspiration
-for Pegex comes from the parsing engine upon which the postmodern programming
-language Perl 6 is based on. Pegex brings this beauty to the other justmodern
-languages that have a normal regular expression engine available.

Pegex gets it name by combining Parsing Expression Grammars (PEG), with
Regular Expessions (Regex). That's actually what Pegex does.
-PEG is the cool new way to elegantly specify recursive descent grammars. The
-Perl 6 language is defined in terms of a self modifying PEG language called
-Perl 6 Rules. Regexes are familiar to programmers of most modern programming
-languages. Pegex defines a simple PEG syntax, where all the terminals are
-regexes. This means that Pegex can be quite fast and powerful.

-Pegex attempts to be the simplest way to define new (or old) Domain Specific
-Languages (DSLs) that need to be used in several programming languages and
-environments. Things like JSON, YAML, Markdown etc. It also great for writing
-parsers/compilers that only need to work in one language.
