=head1 NAME
Pegex::Compiler - Pegex Compiler
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Pegex::Compiler;
my $grammar_text = '... grammar text ...';
my $pegex_compiler = Pegex::Compiler->new();
my $grammar_tree = $pegex_compiler->compile($grammar_text)->tree;
or:
perl -Ilib -MYourGrammarModule=compile
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The Pegex::Compiler transforms a Pegex grammar string (or file) into a
compiled form. The compiled form is known as a grammar tree, which is simply a
nested data structure.
The grammar tree can be serialized to YAML, JSON, Perl, or any other
programming language. This makes it extremely portable. Pegex::Grammar has
methods for serializing to all these forms.
NOTE: Unless you are developing Pegex based modules, you can safely ignore
this module. Even if you are you probably won't use it directly. See [In
Place Compilation] below.
=head1 METHODS
The following public methods are available:
=over
=item C<< $compiler = Pegex::Compiler->new(); >>
Return a new Pegex::Compiler object.
=item C<< $grammar_tree = $compiler->compile($grammar_input); >>
Compile a grammar text into a grammar tree that can be used by a
Pegex::Parser. This method is calls the C<parse> and C<combinate> methods and
returns the resulting tree.
Input can be a string, a string ref, a file path, a file handle, or a
Pegex::Input object. Return C<$self> so you can chain it to other methods.
=item C<< $compiler->parse($grammar_text) >>
The first step of a C<compile> is C<parse>. This applies the Pegex language
grammar to your grammar text and produces an unoptimized tree.
This method returns C<$self> so you can chain it to other methods.
=item C<< $compiler->combinate() >>
Before a Pegex grammar tree can be used to parse things, it needs to be
combinated. This process turns the regex tokens into real regexes. It also
combines some rules together and eliminates rules that are not needed or have
been combinated. The result is a Pegex grammar tree that can be used by a
Pegex::Parser.
NOTE: While the parse phase of a compile is always the same for various
programming langugaes, the combinate phase takes into consideration and
special needs of the target language. Pegex::Compiler only combinates
for Perl, although this is often sufficient in similar languages like
Ruby or Python (PCRE based regexes). Languages like Java probably need
to use their own combinators.
=item C<< $compiler->tree() >>
Return the current state of the grammar tree (as a hash ref).
=item C<< $compiler->to_yaml() >>
Serialize the current grammar tree to YAML.
=item C<< $compiler->to_json() >>
Serialize the current grammar tree to JSON.
=item C<< $compiler->to_perl() >>
Serialize the current grammar tree to Perl.

=head1 IN PLACE COMPILATION
When you write a Pegex based module you will want to precompile your grammar
into Perl so that it has no load penalty. Pegex::Grammar provides a special
mechanism for this. Say you have a class like this:
package MyThing::Grammar;
use Pegex::Base;
extends 'Pegex::Grammar';
use constant file => '../mything-grammar-repo/mything.pgx';
sub make_tree {
}
Simply use this command:
perl -Ilib -MMyThing::Grammar=compile
and Pegex::Grammar will call Pegex::Compile to put your compiled grammar
inside your C<tree> subroutine. It will actually write the text into your
module. This makes it trivial to update your grammar module after making
changes to the grammar file.
See L<Pegex::JSON> for an example.
