    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.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.syntax contains several implicits to add syntactic sugar to the combinators. These are sub-categorised into the following sub modules:
      • parsley.syntax.character contains implicits to allow you to use character and string literals as parsers.
      • parsley.syntax.lift enables postfix application of the lift combinator onto a function (or value).
      • parsley.syntax.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.syntax.extension contains syntactic sugar combinators exposed as implicit classes.
    • 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.state contains combinators that interact with the context-sensitive functionality in the form of state.
    • parsley.token contains the Lexer class that provides a host of helpful lexing combinators when provided with the description of a language.
    • parsley.position contains parsers for extracting position information.
    • parsley.generic 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.

DebugCombinators

implicit class DebugCombinators[P, A] extends AnyRef

This class enables the debug combinator on parsers.

This extension class operates on values that are convertible to parsers. It enables the use of the debug combinator, which can be used to trace the execution through a parser.

P

the type of base value that this class is used on (the conversion to Parsley) is summoned automatically.

    This combinator allows this parser to be debugged by providing a trace through the execution.

    This combinator allows this parser to be debugged by providing a trace through the execution.

    When this combinator is entered, it will print the name assigned to the parser, as well as the current input context for a few characters on either side. This parser is then executed. If it succeeded, this combinator again reports the name along with "Good" and the input context. If it failed, it reports the name along with "Bad" and the input context.

    When breakpoints are used, the execution of the combinator will pause on either entry, exit, or both. The parse is resumed by entering a newline on standard input. Breakpoints will cause additional information about the internal state of the parser to be reported.

    name

    The name to be assigned to this parser

    watchedRefs

    Which references to also track the values of and their names, if any

    Example:
    1. scala> import parsley.debug.DebugCombinators, parsley.character.string, parsley.Parsley.attempt
      scala> val abc = attempt(string("abc").debug("string abc")).debug("attempt")
      scala> val abd = string("abd").debug("string abd")
      scala> val p = (abc <|> abd).debug("or")
      scala> p.parse("abd")
      >or> (1, 1): abd•
                   ^
        >attempt> (1, 1): abd•
                          ^
          >string abc> (1, 1): abd•
                               ^
          <string abc< (1, 3): abd• Fail
                                 ^

        <string abd< (1, 4): abd• Good

      <or< (1, 4): abd• Good
