Comment Parser

Definitions

1. A parser that reads structured comments or annotations and extracts meaning from them, often for documentation generation, linting, or code transformation. Comment parsers are common in tools that consume docstrings, typed comment metadata, or special directive syntax embedded in source files.

   In plain English: A tool that reads comments in code and interprets structured information from them.

   Example: "The docs build failed because the comment parser could not understand the malformed parameter annotations added in the last commit."
