Description

Simple, efficient parser combinators for strings, loosely based on the Parsec library.

  - | Partial (t -> IResult t r)
  - | Done t r

data Parser t a

The core parser type. This is parameterised over the type `t` of string being processed.

This type is an instance of the following classes:

- `Monad`, where `fail` throws an exception (i.e. fails) with an error message.
- `Functor` and `Applicative`, which follow the usual definitions.
- `MonadPlus`, where `mzero` fails (with no error message) and `mplus` executes the right-hand parser if the left-hand one fails. When the parser on the right executes, the input is reset to the same state as the parser on the left started with. (In other words, Attoparsec is a backtracking parser that supports arbitrary lookahead.)
- `Alternative`, which follows `MonadPlus`.

Instances

Monad (Parser t) |
Functor (Parser t) |
Monoid t => MonadPlus (Parser t) |
~ * a ByteString => IsString (Parser a) |
~ * a Text => IsString (Parser a) |
Applicative (Parser t) |
Monoid t => Alternative (Parser t) |
Monoid t => Monoid (Parser t a) |

data IResult t r

The result of a parse. This is parameterised over the type `t` of string that was processed.

This type is an instance of `Functor`, where `fmap` transforms the value in a `Done` result.

Constructors

Fail t [String] String | The parse failed. The `t` parameter is the input that had not yet been consumed when the failure occurred. The `[``String``]` is a list of contexts in which the error occurred. The `String` is the message describing the error, if any.
Partial (t -> IResult t r) | Supply this continuation with more input so that the parser can resume. To indicate that no more input is available, use an empty string.
Done t r | The parse succeeded. The `t` parameter is the input that had not yet been consumed (if any) when the parse succeeded.

Instances

Functor (IResult t) |
(Show t, Show r) => Show (IResult t r) |
(NFData t, NFData r) => NFData (IResult t r) |
