Hi guys,

Currently I have one grammar which is recursive and it is using a lot of syntactic predicates, I am only using the operator => because I read about the operator -> but I am not sure about its behaviour.

Could you help me to understand the main difference between these operators? Also I wanted to ask you if there is a way of avoiding using predicates in my alternatives because I have one rule which was written in this way

Atomic returns Expression:
=>Literal | =>Variable | =>ObjectExpression | =>Array | EnclosedExpression;

It does not look good for sure there is a better way of writing this.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Luis

The General usage and the difference between => and -> is decribed in the docs under "Syntactic Predicates"
why you have that lot predicates i cannot see.
in all literal rules i have seen so for non of them is used (dont know your grammar so hard to say)
