Define "best".
Most useful, in the same way that a Swiss Army knife is more useful than a Bowie knife.
The official parser is, well, most official;
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=Official+Parser
camxes is, in many people's eyes, the best encoding of actual Lojban
as it is used/spoken (the "ku joi" problem, for example, is largely
considered a wart, not a true part of the language).
http://www.lojban.org/tiki/tiki-index.php?page=camxes
I would agree that camxes. is the current best working parser.
jbofihe does glossing, but has a number of significant bugs in how
it handles the language http://www.rc0.org.uk/jbofihe/
jbofi'e is the only working parser with glossing, which makes it the best "parser with glossing", but I would not say it is the best by any stretch.
There are no other parsers I'm aware of. LogGloss is just a wrapper
on camxes as far as I know, but it may be using the PEG directly; I
don't know, I've never looked at or used it. Someone should ask
Chris to fix his server, or come find me and we can talk about
hosting.
My understanding of LojGloss is that it takes the output of a camxes. parse and glosses it, with lots of user-friendly bells and whistles. since I consider the camxes. parsing to be better than the jbofi'e parsing, were LojGloss to work, I would consider it to be the best.
Is Chris even still around? I don't think he's said anything for awhile now. Have any of you IRC frequenters seen him recently in there?
