 You can generate parsers programatically from JavaScript as well. Assuming Jison is in your commonjs environment's load path:
 
-    // mygenerator.js
-    var Parser = require("jison").Parser;
-
-    // a grammar in JSON
-    var grammar = {
-        "lex": {
-            "rules": [
-               ["\\s+", "/* skip whitespace */"],
-               ["[a-f0-9]+", "return 'HEX';"]
-            ]
-        },
-
-        "bnf": {
-            "hex_strings" :[ "hex_strings HEX",
-                             "HEX" ]
-        }
-    };
-
-    // `grammar` can also be a string that uses jison's grammar format
-    var parser = new Parser(grammar);
-
-    // generate source, ready to be written to disk
-    var parserSource = parser.generate();
-
-    // you can also use the parser directly from memory
-
-    // returns true
-    parser.parse("adfe34bc e82a");
-
-    // throws lexical error
-    parser.parse("adfe34bc zxg");
