PHP 8.3.4 Released!

The Parle\Lexer class

(PECL parle >= 0.5.1)

Introduction

Single state lexer class. Lexemes can be defined on the fly. If the particular lexer instance is meant to be used with Parle\Parser, the token IDs need to be taken from there. Otherwise, arbitrary token IDs can be supplied. This lexer can give a certain performance advantage over Parle\RLexer, if no multiple states are required. Note, that Parle\RParser is not compatible with this lexer.
