### latest: [1.0.0](https://docs.macilib.org/docs/maci/language/v1.0.0)

***

maci uses a hybrid parsing concept where it reads the file or string and parses the valid syntax with its own custom tokenization logic and then relies on the [ast library ](https://docs.python.org/3/library/ast.html)to set the literal python object from the parsed data.
