add parser library

[azzamsa]

Hi.

Is there any chance to add parser library. Such as nom and pest?

Thanks!

[epage]

https://github.com/rosetta-rs/parse-rosetta-rs has a basic comparison of some parsers for possibly linking to for such an item / list

An interesting aspect to this is deciding what library or libraries to include

Looking over my prior link, we can divide it by style

• parser combinators like nom, chumsky, and winnow
• grammar files like pest
• ???

Then there is by download count. Of those in the millions, there are

• nom which is widely used but development is a "once every couple years" mode with the maintainer taking the
  approach "anything you need can be worked around on your side"
• winnow but its download count is almost exclusively from being a dependency of toml
• pest which I think is back under active development again as it went a period without attention from the maintainers
• combine which doesn't get much active development

Application

• programming language: chumsky , pest, and hopefully winnow
• textual data: everything?
• binary: nom and winnow

Nebulous "up and coming"

• chumsky is getting a lot of attention with its focus on programming language parsing
• yap I find fascinating just for its simplicity
• winnow is the fastest and has a strong emphasis on ease-of-use (disclosure: I'm the author)

One that is not on parse-rosetta-rs that could be of interested for a limited set of use cases is logos as its just a lexer but sounds intriguing.
