One of the main innovations of the new version - JavaScript parsers, now everyone, who has at least minimal knowledge of programming, will be able to create high-performance parsers on JavaScript language, using all possibilities of A-Parser (multithreading, work with the proxy, template engine, processing of queries and results, and more others...)
