lex-parser is a compact JavaScript library designed for lexical analysis, often used as a building block for compilers, interpreters, and other language processing tools. It simplifies the process of tokenizing input strings based on user-defined regular expressions. Allowing developers to define tokens, ignore unwanted characters, and handle unmatched input effectively, resulting in cleaner and more maintainable code when implementing language parsing logic. It offers a lightweight and flexible solution for breaking down text into meaningful units.
