shallot can lex and parse just enough Gherkin to give you:

{:feature=>"The name of the feature",
 :background=>
  ["        Each step in the background",
   "        But without any additional parsing",
   "        Or validation",
   ""],
 :scenarios=>
  [{:name=>"And each scenario",
    :outline=>false,
    :tags=>["shallot", "regression", "bug"],
    :contents=>
     ["        With tags, including those inherited",
      "        From the feature level tags",
      ""]},
   {:name=>"As well as scenario outlines",
    :outline=>true,
    :tags=>["shallot", "feature"],
    :contents=>
     ["        With support for the following",
      "            \"\"\"",
      "            long-quoted",
      "            sections",
      "            \"\"\"",
      "        While no extra <kind> for examples",
      "",
      "        Examples:",
      "            | kind    |",
      "            | parsing |",
      "            | lexing  |"]}]}

The above results from calling Shallot.parse(f), where f is an open File handle on the following feature file:

@shallot
Feature: The name of the feature
    This gets completely ignored.

    Background:
        Each step in the background
        But without any additional parsing
        Or validation

    @regression @bug
    Scenario: And each scenario
        With tags, including those inherited
        From the feature level tags

    @feature
    Scenario Outline: As well as scenario outlines
        With support for the following
            """
            long-quoted
            sections
            """
        While no extra <kind> for examples

        Examples:
            | kind    |
            | parsing |
            | lexing  |
