Welcome to 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 is part of Boost Libraries, a
peer-reviewed, open collaborative development effort.

The standard way of iterating over a stream would be to wrap it into a std::istream_iterator, but unfortunately this is not possible. Qi requires iterators to be at least forward iterators, while the std::istream_iterator is an input iterator only. To overcome this limitation Spirit V2.2 (the next version of Spirit, to be released with Boost V1.42) will implement a new iterator.

I added a page for FAQ entries. This page will contain FAQ entries which will eventually be incorporated into the FAQ section of the documentation.
