    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, as well as the implicit classes which enable the "method-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.io contains extension methods to run parsers with input sourced from IO sources.
    • parsley.expr contains the following sub modules:
    • 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.errors.combinator provides combinators that can be used to either produce more detailed errors as well as refine existing errors.
    • 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.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.unsafe contains unsafe (and not thread-safe) ways of speeding up the execution of a parser.

implicit final class ErrorMethods[P, +A] extends AnyRef

This class exposes helpful combinators that are specialised for generating more helpful errors messages. For a description of why the library is designed in this way, see: the Parsley wiki

Instance Constructors

  1. new ErrorMethods(p: ⇒ P)(implicit con: (P) ⇒ Parsley[A])

    p

    The parser which serves as the method receiver

    con

    A conversion (if required) to turn p into a parser

Value Members

  1. def !(msggen: (A) ⇒ String): Parsley[Nothing]

    Same as fail, except allows for a message generated from the result of the failed parser.

    Same as fail, except allows for a message generated from the result of the failed parser. In essence, this is equivalent to p >>= (x => fail(msggen(x)) but requires no expensive computations from the use of >>=.

    msggen

    The generator function for error message, creating a message based on the result of invokee

    returns

    A parser that fails if it succeeds, with the given generator used to produce the error message

    Attempts to first filter the parser to ensure that pf is defined over it.

    Attempts to first filter the parser to ensure that pf is defined over it. If it is, then the function pf is mapped over its result. Roughly the same as a guard then a map.

    msggen

    Generator function for error message, generating a message based on the result of the parser

    pf

    The partial function

    returns

    The result of applying pf to this parsers value (if possible), or fails

    msg

    The message used for the error if the input failed the check

  12. def explain(reason: String): Parsley[A]

    Similar to label, except instead of providing an expected message replacing the original tag, this combinator adds a reason that the error occurred.

    Similar to label, except instead of providing an expected message replacing the original tag, this combinator adds a reason that the error occurred. This is in complement to the label. The reason is only added when the parser fails, and will disappear if any further progress in the parser is made (unlike labels, which may reappear as "hints").

    reason

    The reason why a parser failed

  13. def filterOut(pred: PartialFunction[A, String]): Parsley[A]

    Filter the value of a parser; if the value returned by the parser is defined for the given partial function, then the filterOut fails, using the result of the function as the reason (see explain), otherwise the parser succeeds

    Similar to filterOut, except the error message generated yields a true failure. This means that it will uses the same mechanism as fail, as opposed to the reason provided by filterOut
