parser

func ErrAtPosition ¶

func ErrAtPosition(i int, err error) PositionalError

ErrAtPosition takes an error and returns a positional wrapper. If the provided error is itself a positional type then the position is aggregated.

func Array ¶

func Array() Type

Array parses an array literal.

func BestMatch ¶

func BestMatch(parsers ...Type) Type

BestMatch accepts one or more parsers and tries them all against an input. If any parser returns a non ExpectedError error then it is returned. If all parsers return either a result or an ExpectedError then the parser that got further through the input will have its result returned. This means that an error may be returned even if a parser was successful.

For example, given two parsers, A searching for 'aa', and B searching for 'aaaa', if the input 'aaab' were provided then an error from parser B would be returned, as although the input didn't match, it matched more of parser B than parser A.

func Boolean ¶

func Boolean() Type

Boolean parses either 'true' or 'false' into a boolean value.

func Char ¶

func Char(c rune) Type

Char parses a single character and expects it to match one candidate.

func Comment ¶

func Comment() Type

Comment parses a # comment (always followed by a line break).

func Delimited ¶

func Delimited(primary, delimiter Type) Type

Delimited attempts to parse one or more primary parsers, where after the first parse a delimiter is expected. Parsing is stopped only once a delimiter parse is not successful.

Two slices are returned, the first element being a slice of primary results and the second element being the delimiter results.

func DelimitedPattern ¶

func DelimitedPattern(
	start, primary, delimiter, stop Type,
	allowTrailing, returnDelimiters bool,
) Type

DelimitedPattern attempts to parse zero or more primary parsers in between an start and stop parser, where after the first parse a delimiter is expected. Parsing is stopped only once an explicit stop parser is successful.

If allowTrailing is set to false and a delimiter is parsed but a subsequent primary parse fails then an error is returned.

Only the results of the primary parser are returned, the results of the start, delimiter and stop parsers are discarded. If returnDelimiters is set to true then two slices are returned, the first element being a slice of primary results and the second element being the delimiter results.

func Discard ¶

func Discard(parser Type) Type

Discard the result of a child parser, regardless of the result. This has the effect of running the parser and returning only Remaining.

func DiscardAll ¶

func DiscardAll(parser Type) Type

DiscardAll the results of a child parser, applied until it fails. This has the effect of running the parser and returning only Remaining.

func Expect ¶

func Expect(parser Type, expected ...string) Type

Expect applies a parser and if an ExpectedError (or ExpectedFatalError) is returned its contents are replaced with the provided list. This is useful for providing better context to users.

func InRange ¶

func InRange(lower, upper rune) Type

InRange parses any number of characters between two runes inclusive.

func InSet ¶

func InSet(set ...rune) Type

InSet parses any number of characters within a set of runes.

func JoinStringPayloads ¶

func JoinStringPayloads(p Type) Type

JoinStringPayloads wraps a parser that returns a []interface{} of exclusively string values and returns a result of a joined string of all the elements.

Warning! If the result is not a []interface{}, or if an element is not a string, then this parser returns a zero value instead.

func LiteralValue ¶

func LiteralValue() Type

LiteralValue parses a literal bool, number, quoted string, null value, array of literal values, or object.

func MustBe ¶

func MustBe(parser Type) Type

MustBe applies a parser and if the result is an ExpectedError converts it into a fatal error in order to prevent fallback parsers during AnyOf.

func Newline ¶

func Newline() Type

Newline parses a line break.

func NewlineAllowComment ¶

func NewlineAllowComment() Type

NewlineAllowComment parses an optional comment followed by a mandatory line break.

func NotChar ¶

func NotChar(c rune) Type

NotChar parses any number of characters until they match a single candidate.

func NotEnd ¶

func NotEnd(p Type, exp ExpectedError) Type

NotEnd parses zero characters from an input and expects it to not have ended. An ExpectedError must be provided which provides the error returned on empty input.

func Null ¶

func Null() Type

Null parses a null literal value.

func Number ¶

func Number() Type

Number parses any number of numerical characters into either an int64 or, if the number contains float characters, a float64.

func Object ¶

func Object() Type

Object parses an object literal.

func OneOf ¶

func OneOf(Types ...Type) Type

OneOf accepts one or more parsers and tries them in order against an input. If a parser returns an ExpectedError then the next parser is tried and so on. Otherwise, the result is returned.

func Optional ¶

func Optional(parser Type) Type

Optional applies a child parser and if it returns an ExpectedError then it is cleared and a nil result is returned instead. Any other form of error will be returned unchanged.

func QuotedString ¶

func QuotedString() Type

QuotedString parses a single instance of a quoted string. The result is the inner contents unescaped.

func Sequence ¶

func Sequence(parsers ...Type) Type

Sequence applies a sequence of parsers and returns either a slice of the results or an error if any parser fails.

func SnakeCase ¶

func SnakeCase() Type

SnakeCase parses any number of characters of a camel case string. This parser is very strict and does not support double underscores, prefix or suffix underscores.

func SpacesAndTabs ¶

func SpacesAndTabs() Type

SpacesAndTabs parses any number of space or tab characters.

func Term ¶

func Term(str string) Type

Term parses a single instance of a string.

func UntilFail ¶

func UntilFail(parser Type) Type

UntilFail applies a parser until it fails, and returns a slice containing all results. If the parser does not succeed at least once an error is returned.
