A Toki Pona Parser This is a library for parsing toki pona, an artificial language where most lexical categories are closed. There are about 125 unbound morphemes (words). The syntax is also limited to a single sentence template, which formally can be represented in about a dozen rules. It small, toy-like size makes it suitable for linguistic experiments.

Here is the working app:

http://tokipona.net/parser/

Currently illustrates:

• Normalizing. (Removing some irregularities from the text)
• Parsing to C# datastructures (See Serializations)
• Diagramming/Bracketing
• Colorizing
• Glossing, with & without POS

###Contributing

###If you don't write code

• Write toki pona and create issues for text that should parse but fails to parse
• Write issues for breaks in the various features of the demo site.

Here is the issue tracker: https://github.com/matthewdeanmartin/tokipona.parser/issues

###Suggestions on getting started: You can contribute with VS2010, VS2013, VS2013 Community (free and allows plugins) or SharpDev.

• Read unit tests inside BasicTypes. They are all well behaved (ie. safe to run over and over)
• The DemoSite is the entry point for the UI.

###To Write Your Own Apps

• To use in your own application, use the BasicTypes dll.
• SOON. If you don't write C#, soon I will support a REST+XML+JSON API. Any day now.
