What is kiot-lexer?

A state-based lexer generator written in pure Kotlin.

Why kiot-lexer?

To create lexers in pure Kotlin without other languages like jflex or ANTLR.

kiot-lexer implemented almost everything from automata (NFA and DFA) to RegExp parsing (not stable), which provides you efficiency beyond ordinary lexer implementations.

Also, kiot-lexer is a Kotlin MPP (multi-platform) project, which means you can use it almost everywhere: JVM, Native, Web... Don't limit your imagination!
