Unfortunately no one provided an answer to my question :)
I had to reverse engineering Jison Lexer code to find out the right syntax. As I suppose it may help others, here after the answer :)
Jison's lexical conditions work fine under JSON syntax, but they should be predeclared in an array named "startConditions" as in following example.
grammar = {
"lex": {
"startConditions" : { "INITIAL":"// Default initial Jison/Lex context"
,"MOD_EXT": "// extenstions context "
,"MOD_RTE": "// routes context"
},
"rules" : [['[\\n\\s]+' , "/* skip whitespace & new lines */"]
// extensions blocs
,[['INITIAL'], '<extensions>' , "this.begin('MOD_EXT');"]
,[['MOD_EXT'], '<\\/extensions>' , "this.popState();"]
,[['MOD_EXT'], '[<>\\/\\-\\s\\n]', "/* ignore */"]
,[['MOD_EXT'], '[0-z]+' , "/* ignore */"]
Etc...
In order to make everyone life easier, here after a simple working example.
// Sample JISON start conditions with Jason syntax
var jison = require("jison").Parser;
grammar = {
"lex": {
"macros": { // few usefull macro
"slash": "\\/",
"space": "\\s+",
"quot" : "\\\'",
"dquot": "\\\"",
"dot" : "\\.",
"digit": "[0-9]",
"int" : "-?([0-9]+)",
"float": "-?([0-9]*\\.[0-9]+)",
"hexa" : "([0-9]|(a-h)|(A-H])+"
},
"startConditions" : { "INITIAL":"// Default initial Jison/Lex context"
,"MOD_EXT": "// extenstions context "
,"MOD_RTE": "// routes context"
},
