Method and system for generating a parser and parsing complex data

A method for parsing complex data, the method comprising the following operations performed by one or more processors:

• inputting complex data into a parsing pipeline within a parser, the complex data associated with at least one format;
• and
• executing each of one or more strings extracted from the complex data inputted into the parsing pipeline, the executing comprising:
• generating a second string, by a first handler, based in part on the current input string to the parsing pipeline, if the current input string to the parsing pipeline matches a regular expression specified for the first handler in a parser definition;
• and
• inputting the second string, regeneratively, by the first handler, to the parsing pipeline, if the current input string to the parsing pipeline matches a regular expression specified for the first handler in the parser definition;
• wherein the executing, for each of one or more strings extracted from the complex data inputted into the parsing pipeline, facilitates at least one conversion from the at least one format to at least one other format;
• outputting the converted complex data.

A non-transitory computer readable medium that stores a set of instructions that are executable by at least one processor of an electronic device to cause the electronic device to perform a method for parsing complex data, the method comprising:

• inputting complex data into a parsing pipeline within a parser, the complex data associated with at least one format;
• and
• executing the one or more of one or more strings extracted from the complex data inputted into the parsing pipeline, wherein the set of instructions for the executing further comprises instructions executable by the electronic device to cause the electronic device to:
• generate a second string, by a first handler, based in part on the current input string to the parsing pipeline, if the current input string to the parsing pipeline matches a regular expression specified for the first handler in a parser definition;
• and
• input the second string, regeneratively, by the first handler, to the parsing pipeline, if the current input string to the parsing pipeline matches a regular expression specified for the first handler in the parser definition;
• wherein the executing, for each of one or more strings extracted from the complex data inputted into the parsing pipeline, facilitates at least one conversion from the at least one format to at least one other format;
• outputting the converted complex data.
