    Package structure

    The parsley package contains the Parsley class, as well as the Result, Success, and Failure types. In addition to these, it also contains the following packages and "modules" (a module is defined as being an object which mocks a package):

    • parsley.Parsley contains the bulk of the core "function-style" combinators.
    • parsley.combinator contains many helpful combinators that simplify some common parser patterns.
    • parsley.character contains the combinators needed to read characters and strings, as well as combinators to match specific sub-sets of characters.
    • parsley.debug contains debugging combinators, helpful for identifying faults in parsers.
    • parsley.extension contains syntactic sugar combinators exposed as implicit classes.
    • parsley.io contains extension methods to run parsers with input sourced from IO sources.
    • parsley.expr contains the following sub modules:
      • parsley.expr.chain contains combinators used in expression parsing
      • parsley.expr.precedence is a builder for expression parsers built on a precedence table.
      • parsley.expr.infix contains combinators used in expression parsing, but with more permissive types than their equivalents in chain.
      • parsley.expr.mixed contains combinators that can be used for expression parsing, but where different fixities may be mixed on the same level: this is rare in practice.
    • parsley.implicits contains several implicits to add syntactic sugar to the combinators. These are sub-categorised into the following sub modules:
      • parsley.implicits.character contains implicits to allow you to use character and string literals as parsers.
      • parsley.implicits.combinator contains implicits related to combinators, such as the ability to make any parser into a Parsley[Unit] automatically.
      • parsley.implicits.lift enables postfix application of the lift combinator onto a function (or value).
      • parsley.implicits.zipped enables boths a reversed form of lift where the function appears on the right and is applied on a tuple (useful when type inference has failed) as well as a .zipped method for building tuples out of several combinators.
    • parsley.errors contains modules to deal with error messages, their refinement and generation.
    • parsley.lift contains functions which lift functions that work on regular types to those which now combine the results of parsers returning those same types. these are ubiquitous.
    • parsley.ap contains functions which allow for the application of a parser returning a function to several parsers returning each of the argument types.
    • parsley.registers contains combinators that interact with the context-sensitive functionality in the form of registers.
    • parsley.token contains the Lexer class that provides a host of helpful lexing combinators when provided with the description of a language.
    • parsley.genericbridges contains some basic implementations of the Parser Bridge pattern (see Design Patterns for Parser Combinators in Scala, or the parsley wiki): these can be used before more specialised generic bridge traits can be constructed.

    This package provides a wealth of functionality for performing common lexing tasks.

    It is organised as follows:

    • the main parsing functionality is accessed via Lexer, which provides implementations for the combinators found in the sub-packages given a LexicalDesc.
    • the descriptions sub-package is how a lexical structure can be described, providing the configuration that alters the behaviour of the parsers produced by the Lexer.
    • the other sub-packages contain the high-level interfaces that the Lexer exposes, which can be used to pass whitespace-aware and non-whitespace-aware combinators around in a uniform way.
    • the predicate module contains functionality to help define boolean predicates on characters or unicode codepoints.

Type Members

  1. final case class EscapeDesc(escBegin: Char, literals: Set[Char], singleMap: Map[Char, Int], multiMap: Map[String, Int], decimalEscape: NumericEscape, hexadecimalEscape: NumericEscape, octalEscape: NumericEscape, binaryEscape: NumericEscape, emptyEscape: Option[Char], gapsSupported: Boolean) extends Product with Serializable

    This class describes the valid escape sequences within character and string literals.

    This class describes the valid escape sequences within character and string literals.

    This allows for the definition of different escape sequences as direct literals, mapping from single or multiple characters to specific values, numeric escape sequences with different bases, as well as supporting zero-width escapes and line continuations via string gaps.

  2. sealed abstract class NumberOfDigits extends AnyRef

    This class, and its subtypes, describe how many digits a numeric escape sequence is allowed.

  3. sealed abstract class NumericEscape extends AnyRef

    This class, and its subtypes, describe how numeric escape sequences should work for a specific base.

  4. final case class TextDesc(escapeSequences: EscapeDesc, characterLiteralEnd: Char, stringEnds: Set[String], multiStringEnds: Set[String], graphicCharacter: CharPredicate) extends Product with Serializable

    This class describes how textual literals like strings and characters should be processed lexically.
