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.

We have a new page enumerating the best practices for using Spirit. Right now, there’s only one entry (update: there may be more by the time you read this), but as time goes by, we will be filling this page with more. If you have a short Spirit tip to share, this is the page. Add a comment and we’ll incorporate them.
See the “Best Practices” page here.

Boost 1.41 release is coming vey soon, along with it, the much awaited Spirit version 2.1. It’s about time we have a major website makeover. Check out the new site for Spirit 2.1 (in beta).
- Finally settled on WordPress. It does the job wonderfully, with minimum fuss, and it has great support.
- The new docs are uploaded. The search box should be available once Google starts to index the new site (I already submitted a sitemap) for the Google Custom Search.
