Formal Grammar of the schema language

schema = namespace_decl | type_decl | enum_decl | root_decl | object

namespace_decl = namespace ident ( . ident )* ;

type_decl = ( table | struct ) ident metadata { field_decl+ }

enum_decl = ( enum | union ) ident [ : type ] metadata { commasep( enumval_decl ) }

root_decl = root_type ident ;

field_decl = type : ident [ = scalar ] metadata ;

type = bool | byte | ubyte | short | ushort | int | uint | float | long | ulong | double | string | [ type ] | ident

enumval_decl = ident [ = integer_constant ]

metadata = [ ( commasep( ident [ : scalar ] ) ) ]

scalar = integer_constant | float_constant | true | false

object = { commasep( ident : value ) }

value = scalar | object | string_constant | [ commasep( value ) ]

commasep(x) = [ x ( , x )* ]
