dfasyn

DFASyn boasts superior capabilities compared to Lex/Flex software programs such as the ability to specify iterated elements with specific constraints between them. With DFASyn, repeated elements can also be specified with constraints between the end of one and the start of the next - a feature that is not currently available in Lex/Flex software.

However, there are some drawbacks to using DFASyn. Users need to perform certain tasks manually that are typically automated in Lex/Flex programs. For instance, when building a parser around the resulting state machine, DFASyn users will have to put in extra effort to achieve desired results. Despite these limitations, DFASyn is still a top contender when it comes to superior capabilities and advanced functionality.
