### Declarative Parser (Experimental)
### Declarative Parser

Starting in `nimble 0.18.0`, the declarative parser can be used.
It can be activated using the flag `--parser:declarative` and will become the default parser in the future.
Starting with `nimble 0.18.0`, the declarative parser can be used using `--parser:declarative` flag, offering better speed and reliability in dependency resolution.
Comment thread
moigagoo marked this conversation as resolved.
Outdated

The main advantage of the declarative parser is deterministic dependencies, allowing `nimble` to build a reliable cache.
Another benefit is improved speed, as there is no need to spin up the Nim VM for every dependency.
In `nimble 0.24.0`, the declarative parser fully replaced the older VM-based one and is the default and only parser option.
