+# PetitParser and PetitCompiler for Smalltalk/X
+
+## PetitParser 
+
+*Grammars for programming languages are traditionally specified statically. 
+They are hard to compose and reuse due to ambiguities that inevitably arise. 
+**PetitParser** combines ideas from scannerless parsing, parser combinators, 
+parsing expression grammars and packrat parsers to model grammars and parsers 
+as objects that can be reconfigured dynamically.*
+
+For more details on PetitParser itself refer to [PetitParser homepage](http://scg.unibe.ch/research/helvetia/petitparser)
+
+## PetitCompiler
+
+**PetitCompiler** compiles regular PetitParser grammars into an equivalent top-down 
+parser implemented in Smalltalk. The compiled parser is significantly faster than
+PetitParser based one. 
+
