Introduction

Parser and Pretty-printer for WebIDL in Haskell.

Compared to the out-of-maintenance webidl on hackage, this new one doesn't use the lex/yacc infrastructure, but is built entirely in Haskell with parser combinators.

The AST node is parametric, so you can put anything in it. In the parser provided in this package, the extra field records the adjacent comments and SourcePos. But you can fmap on the extra field to customize.

Also, most AST node parsers are exposed in Language.WebIDL.Parser module, so you can reuse and compose these snippet freely.
