Reviews for this release

     
As a parser excellent. Issues: Incomplete documentation, tutorials. Other: I did some work on the grammarexplorer and parser to support testing intellisense inside grammarexplorer. It would be nice to have a working LanguageService example using Irony distributed with Irony solution.

I've used Irony for parsing a myriad of solutions. It is really the BEST way to create parsers for a .NET application. The Irony people rock!

Extremely useful kit, even though documentation (most notably XML documentation) at the moment is very sparse, making the learning curve a bit steeper. However, when you get the hang of it, setting up new languages is a breeze! Hope to see the project go out of the current "hold" status. Keep up the excellent work!

Excellent project. Parsing could not have been of more fun than this! Keep up the good work.

Excellent project that makes implementing a scanner and parser extremely straightforward.

Excellent. I have employed Irony in the Jetfire dynamic language (Jetfire.codeplex.com) to implement a new 'Linq' like database search feature. Currently looking at using Irony to replace our existing parser. Keep up the great work!

Excellent work Roman! Thanks for the great tool! We got a simple grammar together and were converting Google-style Web search syntax to SQL full-text search syntax in a matter of hours! Now working on new Irony-based projects!

Well done with an innovative and useful project.

Great Jan 24 release, both my issues re. previous code drop are fixed! Some breaking changes found: StringFlags => StringOptions TermOptions => TermFlags ParseTreeNode.FindFirstChildToken => FindToken KeyTerm.OptionIsSet => FlagIsSet KeyTerm.Options => Flags

Irony is a very powerful and intelligent framework. It certainly is the greatest compiler toolkit I discovered this year. It took about one hour to rewrite my Refal parser from Coco/R to Irony and a couple of days to build working interpreter (I planned to spend about a couple of weeks). Very clean API, easy to understand. Excellent tool, highly recommended!

It's great, but xml-comments for IntilliSense were nice!!!

Simple, pratical, flexible and powerful. I am seriously considering migrating from my Gold Parser to Irony.

Seems like an awesome tool, unfortunately removing the source control bindings makes it difficult to get started and when I run the grammar explorer and select C# I immediately get a nasty error. After these initial stumbling blocks all I can say is WOW, Irony is pretty damn incredible. I'll never use another parser builder.

Irony is truly excellent. I had my first DSL up and running in a couple of hours. It is much more usable than Lex/Yacc. The GrammarExplorer tool is also very useful during development. Great job, sir.

Irony's strength is its simplicity while being very powerful. Its tight integration into .NET is great, avoiding to deal with separate grammar files or external grammar compiler... This makes Irony the most promising lexer/parser for .NET.

Excellent framework, makes the grammar orthogonal to the scanner/parser, which greatly improves maintainability. Good design, easy to use intuitive API. I was up and running in no time!

I was in search of creating a DSL for my VSTO Excel Project Irony is the perfect tool for my needs Thank you

Irony represents the next generation of compiler tools. Its a great alternative to LEX and YACC.

a intelligent, excellent to use tool! It's a must for creating parsers. forgett lex use irony.
