I want to create a custom lexer and parser in typescript. Are there any decent tools lexer and parser generators like C has (Flex and Bison)? I want to convert a string (containing code in a custom language) into a json object

i haven't used any of these packages, but https://pegjs.org/ and the various ANTLR4 packages look popular. there's also https://www.npmjs.com/package/jison which you might like if you're familiar with Bison already
