The Parser datatype

3 declarations
newtypenewtype Parser a
#

This Parser datatype is a specialised parsing monad with error reporting. Whereas the standard version can be used for arbitrary token types, this version is specialised to ByteString input only.

datadata Result z a
#

A return type like Either, that distinguishes not only between right and wrong answers, but also has commitment, so that a failure cannot be undone. This should only be used for writing very primitive parsers - really it is an internal detail of the library. The z type is the remaining unconsumed input.

Basic parsers

valuenext :: Parser Word8
#

Simply return the next token in the input tokenstream.

valueeof :: Parser ()
#

Succeed if the end of file/input has been reached, fail otherwise.

valueonFail :: Parser a -> Parser a -> Parser a
#

p onFail q means parse p, unless p fails, in which case parse q instead. Can be chained together to give multiple attempts to parse something. (Note that q could itself be a failing parser, e.g. to change the error message from that defined in p to something different.) However, a severe failure in p cannot be ignored.

Derived parsers (but implemented more efficiently)

Re-parsing

valuereparse :: ByteString -> Parser ()
#

Push some tokens back onto the front of the input stream and reparse. This is useful e.g. for recursively expanding macros. When the user-parser recognises a macro use, it can lookup the macro expansion from the parse state, lex it, and then stuff the lexed expansion back down into the parser.
