recursive descent parser
<grammar> A "top-down" parser built from a set of mutually-recursive
procedures or a non-recursive equivalent where each such procedure usually
implements one of the productions of the grammar. Thus the structure of the
resulting program closely mirrors that of the grammar it recognises.
