<title>A semantic parser of source files</title>
3
<description>Sparse is a semantic parser of source files: it's neither a compiler
4
(although it could be used as a front-end for one) nor is it a
5
preprocessor (although it contains as a part of it a preprocessing
6
phase).

It is meant to be a small - and simple - library. Scanty and meager,
9
and partly because of that easy to use. It has one mission in life:
10
create a semantic parse tree for some arbitrary user for further
11
analysis. It's not a tokenizer, nor is it some generic context-free
12
parser. In fact, context (semantics) is what it's all about - figuring
13
out not just what the grouping of tokens are, but what the _types_ are
14
that the grouping implies.

16
Sparse is primarily used in the development and debugging of the Linux
17
kernel.
