On: Why Don’t We Have a General-Purpose Tree Editor?

[mgraczyk]

I once wrote an ASCII graph/tree compiler that compiles ASCII representations like the example in the article into data structures.

The data structures can be used directly in Python or parsed/consumed elsewhere. I think it is pretty useful, and I have used it in a couple of places where moderately complicated trees are used to generate C/C++ code.
