Spirit
======
Spirit is a set of C++ libraries for parsing and output generation implemented as
Domain Specific Embedded Languages (DSEL) using Expression templates and Template
Meta-Programming. The Spirit libraries enable a target grammar to be written
exclusively in C++. Inline grammar specifications can mix freely with other
C++ code and, thanks to the generative power of C++ templates, are immediately
executable.
### Spirit.X3 (3rd generation)
[Documentation](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/libs/spirit/doc/x3/html/index.html)
The newest Spirit shines faster compile times. Currently only a parser framework.
*WARNING*: C++14 compilers support will be dropped soon.
Spirit X3 in Boost 1.81 (scheduled to November 2022) will use C++17 features.
Supported compilers will be:
* Clang 4 (currently 3.6)
* GCC 7 (currently 5)
* VS 2017 v15.8 (currently 2015 U3)
### Spirit V2 (2nd generation)
[Documentation](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/libs/spirit/doc/html/index.html)
The latest Long Term Support version of Spirit. A Swiss Army knife for data
manipulation on any kind of input.
Consists of:
- [Qi]: Parser framework.
- [Karma]: Generator framework.
- [Lex]: Lexical analyzer framework.
Runs on most C++03 compilers (GCC 4.1, Clang 3.0, VS 2005).

[Karma]: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/libs/spirit/doc/html/spirit/karma.html
[Lex]: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/libs/spirit/doc/html/spirit/lex.html
### Spirit.Classic (1st generation)
[Documentation](http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/develop/libs/spirit/classic/index.html)
An elderling member of Spirit. It receives only limited maintanance, but
it is still used even inside Boost by [Boost.Serialization] and [Boost.Wave]
libraries. It also contains Phoenix V1.
Spririt.Classic should support even ancient compilers.
