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. +PEG is the cool new way to elegantly specify recursive descent +grammars.
