Example parsers with specific Token data structure vs Chr

[MyBox42]

Hi,

First of all would like to share how amazing this library looks. Have been working with ANTLR for years and am trying to move to a more functional approach to parsing. Also I'd like to use a pure java DSL vs parser generators as it helps so much with the developper experience (IDE integrations, no pre-compile phase to generate stuff, etc.).

I spent a few hours trying to develop a minimal parser for a small language, and the largest issue I have found so far was the inherent LL(1) parsing limitations. From one of your comments earlier, trying to come-up with a pre-analysis phase that would generate a stream of tokens (as opposed to just individual chars, a token would be a string and meta data such as whether this is a language reserved word, a user defined symbol etc.) and hoping this will help with the LL(1) parsing issues.

As I am developing this, I wonder if you had any resource/documentation available that would explain how to work with a specific Token data strructure vs Chr? At first glance, seems like the lib is pretty generic, so that would mean Input < Token >, Parser<Token, SomeType> etc., but would really love to go through examples if there were any available

Also would like to know if you are planning on extending this library or making it more known, that's a gem!

thanks for this library and the great work again

I've added an example grammar/parser that parses a sequence of tokens here.

Thank you so much for this - Really appreciate the feedback. Exactly the example I was looking for, all the best

No problem, closing this issue.
