=== Syntax ===
Both ''abstract'' and ''concrete'' syntaxes of parsing expressions are seen in the literature, and in this article. The abstract syntax is essentially a [[expression (mathematics)|mathematical formula]] and primarily used in theoretical contexts, whereas concrete syntax parsing expressions could be used directly to control a [[parser]]. The primary concrete syntax is that defined by Ford,<ref name="For04"/>{{rp|Fig.1}} although many tools have their own dialect of this. Other tools<ref>{{cite web |last1=Sirthias |first1=Mathias |title=Parboiled: Rule Construction in Java |website=[[GitHub]] |url=https://github.com/sirthias/parboiled/wiki/Rule-Construction-in-Java |access-date=13 January 2024}}</ref> can be closer to using a programming-language native encoding of abstract syntax parsing expressions as their concrete syntax.

* The [[Jq_(programming_language)#Parsing_Expression_Grammars|jq programming language]] uses a formalism closely related to PEG.
 
* The [[Lua (programming language)|Lua]] authors created [https://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/ LPeg], a [[pattern-matching]] library that uses PEG instead of [[regular expressions]],<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Ierusalimschy |first1=Roberto |title=A text pattern‐matchingpattern-matching tool based on Parsing Expression Grammars |journal=Software: Practice and Experience |date=10 March 2009 |volume=39 |issue=3 |pages=221–258 |doi=10.1002/spe.892 |url=https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/spe.892 |language=en |issn=0038-0644|url-access=subscription }}</ref> as well as the [https://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/re.html re] module which implements a regular -expression-like syntax utilizing the LPeg library.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Ierusalimschy |first1=Roberto |title=LPeg.re - Regex syntax for LPEG |url=https://www.inf.puc-rio.br/~roberto/lpeg/re.html |website=www.inf.puc-rio.br}}</ref>
