Value Members

  1. def *[U >: T](sep: ⇒ Parser[(U, U) ⇒ U]): Parser[U]

    Returns a parser that repeatedly parses what this parser parses, interleaved with the sep' parser

    Returns a parser that repeatedly parses what this parser parses, interleaved with the sep' parser. The sep' parser specifies how the results parsed by this parser should be combined.

  2. def *: Parser[List[T]]

    Returns a parser that repeatedly parses what this parser parses

    Returns a parser that repeatedly parses what this parser parses

  3. def +: Parser[List[T]]

    Returns a parser that repeatedly (at least once) parses what this parser parses.

  4. def <~[U](p: ⇒ Parser[U]): Parser[T]

    A parser combinator for sequential composition which keeps only the left result

    A parser combinator for sequential composition which keeps only the left result

    p <~ q' succeeds if p' succeeds and q' succeeds on the input left over by p'.

    Note: <~ has lower operator precedence than ~ or ~>.

    Returns into(fq)

    Returns into(fq)

  6. def ?: Parser[Option[T]]

  7. def ^?[U](f: PartialFunction[T, U]): Parser[U]

    A parser combinator for partial function application

    A parser combinator for partial function application

    p ^? f' succeeds if p' succeeds AND f' is defined at the result of p'; in that case, it returns f' applied to the result of p'.

    f

    a partial function that will be applied to this parser's result (see mapPartial' in ParseResult').

    returns

    a parser that succeeds if the current parser succeeds and f' is applicable to the result. If so, the result will be transformed by f'.

    A parser combinator for partial function application

    A parser combinator for partial function application

    p ^? (f, error)' succeeds if p' succeeds AND f' is defined at the result of p'; in that case, it returns f' applied to the result of p'. If f' is not applicable, error(the result of p') should explain why.

    f

    a partial function that will be applied to this parser's result (see mapPartial' in ParseResult').

    error

    a function that takes the same argument as f' and produces an error message to explain why f' wasn't applicable

    definition classes: Function1
  15. def equals(arg0: Any): Boolean

    This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence

    This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence.

    The default implementations of this method is an equivalence relation:

    • It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.
    • It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
    • It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type AnyRef if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

    If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is often necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects that are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same Int (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

    arg0

    the object to compare against this object for equality.

    returns

    true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

  16. def flatMap[U](f: (T) ⇒ Parser[U]): Parser[U]

  17. def hashCode(): Int

    Returns a hash code value for the object

    Returns a hash code value for the object.

    The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.

    Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.

  18. def into[U](fq: (T) ⇒ Parser[U]): Parser[U]

    A parser combinator that parameterises a subsequent parser with the result of this one

    A parser combinator that parameterises a subsequent parser with the result of this one

    Use this combinator when a parser depends on the result of a previous parser. p' should be a function that takes the result from the first parser and returns the second parser.

    p into fq' (with fq' typically {x => q}') first applies p', and then, if p' successfully returned result r', applies fq(r)' to the rest of the input.

    From: G. Hutton. Higher-order functions for parsing. J. Funct. Program., 2(3):323--343, 1992.

    fq

    a function that, given the result from this parser, returns the second parser to be applied

    returns

    a parser that succeeds if this parser succeeds (with result x') and if then fq(x)' succeeds

  19. def map[U](f: (T) ⇒ U): Parser[U]

  20. def named(n: String): Parser[T]

  21. def toString(): String

    Returns a string representation of the object

    Returns a string representation of the object.

    The default representation is platform dependent.

  22. def |[U >: T](q: ⇒ Parser[U]): Parser[U]

    A parser combinator for alternative composition

    A parser combinator for alternative composition

    p | q' succeeds if p' succeeds or q' succeeds Note that q' is only tried if p's failure is non-fatal (i.e., back-tracking is allowed).

    q

    a parser that will be executed if p' (this parser) fails (and allows back-tracking)

    returns

    a Parser' that returns the result of the first parser to succeed (out of p' and q') The resulting parser succeeds if (and only if)

    • p' succeeds, or
    • if p' fails allowing back-tracking and q' succeeds.

  23. def |||[U >: T](q: ⇒ Parser[U]): Parser[U]

    A parser combinator for alternative with longest match composition

    A parser combinator for alternative with longest match composition

    p ||| q' succeeds if p' succeeds or q' succeeds If p' and q' both succeed, the parser that consumed the most characters accepts.

    q

    a parser that accepts if p consumes less characters.

    returns

    a Parser' that returns the result of the parser consuming the most characteres (out of p' and q').

  24. def ~[U](p: ⇒ Parser[U]): Parser[~[T, U]]

    A parser combinator for sequential composition

    A parser combinator for sequential composition

    p ~ q' succeeds if p' succeeds and q' succeeds on the input left over by p'.

  25. def ~![U](p: ⇒ Parser[U]): Parser[~[T, U]]

    A parser combinator for non-back-tracking sequential composition

    A parser combinator for non-back-tracking sequential composition

    p ~! q' succeeds if p' succeeds and q' succeeds on the input left over by p'. In case of failure, no back-tracking is performed (in an earlier parser produced by the | combinator).

  26. def ~>[U](p: ⇒ Parser[U]): Parser[U]

    A parser combinator for sequential composition which keeps only the right result

    A parser combinator for sequential composition which keeps only the right result

    p ~> q' succeeds if p' succeeds and q' succeeds on the input left over by p'.
