CL Parser - Strumenta

CL Parser
A ready-to-go solution!

Why consider buying a commercial parser? You may need a parser that has been thoroughly tested and which is documented and has someone to call in case you encounter any problems. License our off-the-shelf CL parser and make life easier for yourself!

Working with CL

You may want to perform several operations on your CL code, which our parser might help you with. Let’s discover them.

Code Analysis and Validation

The Python parser allow to detect common issues, enforce coding standards, or identify anti-patterns in Python code. Ideal for building custom linters or integrating quality checks into CI pipelines.

Code
Transformation

Modify Python code programmatically, such as updating syntax, converting deprecated constructs, or applying formatting rules, while preserving structure and readability.

Refactoring and Modernization

Analyze and upgrade older Python 2.7 or early 3.x code to align with newer Python versions. Automate transitions like print statements, old-style classes, or changes in standard libraries.

Build Developers
Tools

Use the parser as the foundation for code editors, documentation generators, dependency analyzers, or educational platforms that interact with Python source code.

Extract
Metrics

Generate detailed information about code structure, including function complexity, number of classes, module size, and more. Useful for dashboards, code quality tools, and maintainability assessments.

Technical specifications
and license details

⁰¹

Technical specification

The CL Parser provided by Strumenta is a parser for the CL language, i.e., it is a software component that processes CL code and returns the information it contains, organized in an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST).

The parser can be used either as a library or a command-line tool.

The parser correctly handles indentation-based block structures and accommodates Python’s flexible, dynamic constructs. Error handling is robust, with support for custom listeners and fallback recovery in incomplete or malformed code. It can be extended or customized through grammar modifications, AST visitors, and post-processing hooks.

Licence details

We provide a commercial license. You will get access to documentation about the AST and best practices for using the parser. You can choose:

You will also get our support included with it.

Try it yourself: Strumenta Playground

Before committing to any tool, it’s only fair to see it in action, and that’s exactly what the Strumenta Playground is for. The Playground is an interactive online space where you can test the capabilities of our Python parser. Whether you’re exploring how the parser handles specific statements, inspecting the structure of parsed queries, or simply curious about what you can build on top of it, the Playground gives you a hands-on preview.

Stop building from scratch. Start with confidence.

Our production-ready parsers are here when you need them fast, reliable, and battle-tested.
