The project aims for compliance with epics-base by using Lark grammars that closely reflect the original Lex/Yacc grammars. It offers a suite of tools for working with its supported file formats, with convenient Python-facing dataclass object representations and easy JSON serialization. A prototype backend web server for hosting IOC and record information is also included as well as a Vue.js-based frontend, an EPICS build system Makefile dependency inspector, a static analyzer-of-sorts for startup scripts, and a host of other things that the author added at whim to this side project.
