# The Parser datatype

newtype Parser t a #

The only differences between a Plain and a Lazy parser are the instance of Applicative, and the type (and implementation) of runParser. We therefore need to newtype the original Parser type, to allow it to have a different instance.

Constructors

data Result z a #

A return type like Either, that distinguishes not only between right and wrong answers, but also has commitment, so that a failure cannot be undone. This should only be used for writing very primitive parsers - really it is an internal detail of the library. The z type is the remaining unconsumed input.

Failure z String |

runParser :: Parser t a -> [t] -> (a, [t]) #

Apply a parser to an input token sequence.

## Basic parsers

next :: Parser t t #

Simply return the next token in the input tokenstream.

eof :: Parser t () #

Succeed if the end of file/input has been reached, fail otherwise.

satisfy :: (t -> Bool) -> Parser t t #

Return the next token if it satisfies the given predicate.

satisfyMsg :: Show t => (t -> Bool) -> String -> Parser t t #

Return the next token if it satisfies the given predicate. The String argument describes the predicate for better error messages.

onFail :: Parser t a -> Parser t a -> Parser t a #

`p `onFail` q` means parse p, unless p fails, in which case parse q instead. Can be chained together to give multiple attempts to parse something. (Note that q could itself be a failing parser, e.g. to change the error message from that defined in p to something different.) However, a severe failure in p cannot be ignored.

## Re-parsing

reparse :: [t] -> Parser t () #

Push some tokens back onto the front of the input stream and reparse. This is useful e.g. for recursively expanding macros. When the user-parser recognises a macro use, it can lookup the macro expansion from the parse state, lex it, and then stuff the lexed expansion back down into the parser.
