Pipes-Parse

pipes-parse builds upon the pipes library to provide shared streaming parsing utilities.

Quick start

• Install the Haskell Platform
• cabal install pipes-parse
• cabal install lens-family-core

Then fire up ghci:

Prelude> import Pipes
Prelude Pipes> import Pipes.Parse as Parse
Prelude Pipes Parse> import Lens.Family.State.Strict as Lens

... and draw the first group of consecutive equal elements:

Prelude Pipes Parse Lens> evalStateT (zoom group drawAll) (each [1, 1, 2, 3])
[1,1]

The official tutorial is on Hackage.

Features

• Leftovers: Save unused input for later consumption

• Leftover propagation: Leftovers are propagated backwards perfectly

• Connect and Resume: Use StateT to save unused input for later

• Termination Safety: Detect and recover from end of input

Outline

pipes-parse provides the core idioms for how to parse streams using pipes. Stream-specific parsers are provided in downstream libraries, such as pipes-bytestring and pipes-text.

Development Status

The core mechanism behind pipes-parse is stable. I may accept requests for additional generic parsers, but the central idioms will not change. Most development work concentrates on downstream libraries to provide stream-specific parsing utilities.
