SYNOPSIS
happy [options] file
DESCRIPTION
Happy is a parser generator for Haskell, similar to yacc for C. It takes a grammar specification and produces a Haskell parser module.
The tool generates LALR parsers from BNF-like grammars. It integrates with Alex lexer generator for complete parsing solutions.
PARAMETERS

CAVEATS
Haskell specific. Learning curve for grammar syntax. Debugging shift/reduce conflicts.
HISTORY
Happy was created for Haskell as an equivalent to yacc/bison, widely used in Haskell compilers and tools like GHC.
