Boost.Spirit is a recursive descent parser framework that can produce
very fast parsers.  It uses expression templates to generate parsers
from a BNF-like grammar written in C++.  You can also use the same
techniques to generate output from a datastructure.

So conceivably, you could do what you describe by using:

Boost.Spirit.Qi to parse the stream into data structures
Boost.Spirit.Karma to emit the necessary output from the data structures
