Parsers

• number
  • Tries to match a given number
• string
  • Tries to match a given string
• regex
  • Tries to match a given regex
• whitespace
  • Tries to match one or more whitespaces (regex: /[\r\n\t\f\v ]+/)
• word
  • Tries to match one or more words (regex: /[a-zA-Z0-9_]+/)
• endOfInput
  • Checks if there is nothing left to parse otherwise it fails
• endOfLine
  • Tries to match an end of line (either \r\n, \r or \n)
• lazy
  • Takes a function that just returns a parser (a thunk). This defers the evaluation of the given parser. Useful for writing recursive parsers.
• failure
  • Always returns a failing parser with the given errorMessage. Typically used inside a contextual parser.

Combinators

• sequenceOf
  • Accepts multiple parsers, which must all match successfully in the given order otherwise it fails.
• many
  • Accepts a single parser, which may match zero or infinite times.
• many1
  • Accepts a single parser, which must match at least once or infinite times otherwise it fails.
• separatedBy
  • Tries to match a given value separated by a given separator
  • Only captures the value
• anyOf
  • Tries to match all parsers and returns the first successful one.
• optional
  • The given parser may or may not match. This combinator can not fail.
• between
  • Tries to match a given inner surrounded by a given outerLeft and outerRight. The outerRight parser is optional and defaults to outerLeft.
• everythingUntil
  • Tries to match everything until (value) the separator.
