This is a library providing simple, yet general and powerful, interfaces for easing the process of parser/tokenizer/code-generator-building, input-validation and manual regular-expression-construction.
It allows one to easily define reusable functions for parsing/code-generation/validation of various data formats, as well as containing useful datatype definitions and general interfaces.
The library allows parsers (and similar structures) to be rewritten entirely in terms of maps of functions and string-based typesystems, on which these maps are based.
Via npm:
npm install @hgargg-0710/parsers.js

The latest versions' wiki is available online, while for earlier versions, one can
git clone it and git checkout to an appropriate tag/commit.
For usage examples, see the 'tests' directory.
When using library caution is advised when choosing the version, as (occasionally) due to growth, refactoring, new releases will contain breaking changes - thus, a precise version-choice is recommended.
As the library is (largely) independent and its growth does not get to be motivated by outside sources, nor any reasons beyond those of purely bettering nature, it is fairly unlikely that code written using it will require change without requiring first the change of the underlying formats themselves. Thus, the process of automatic update (in this case) would do rather more harm than good.
