//! # nom, eating data byte by byte //! //! nom is a parser combinator library with a focus on safe parsing, //! streaming patterns, and as much as possible zero copy. //! //! ## Example //! //! ```rust //! #[macro_use] //! extern crate nom; //! //! #[derive(Debug,PartialEq)] //! pub struct Color { //! pub red: u8, //! pub green: u8, //! pub blue: u8, //! } //! //! fn from_hex(input: &str) -> Result<u8, std::num::ParseIntError> { //! u8::from_str_radix(input, 16) //! } //! //! fn is_hex_digit(c: char) -> bool { //! c.is_digit(16) //! } //! //! named!(hex_primary<&str, u8>, //! map_res!(take_while_m_n!(2, 2, is_hex_digit), from_hex) //! ); //! //! named!(hex_color<&str, Color>, //! do_parse!( //! tag!("#") >> //! red: hex_primary >> //! green: hex_primary >> //! blue: hex_primary >> //! (Color { red, green, blue }) //! ) //! ); //! //! fn main() { //! assert_eq!(hex_color("#2F14DF"), Ok(("", Color { //! red: 47, //! green: 20, //! blue: 223, //! }))); //! } //! ``` //! //! The code is available on [Github](https://github.com/Geal/nom) //! //! There are a few [guides](https://github.com/Geal/nom/tree/master/doc) with more details //! about [the design of nom](https://github.com/Geal/nom/blob/master/doc/how_nom_macros_work.md), //! [how to write parsers](https://github.com/Geal/nom/blob/master/doc/making_a_new_parser_from_scratch.md), //! or the [error management system](https://github.com/Geal/nom/blob/master/doc/error_management.md). //! //! **Looking for a specific combinator? Read the //! ["choose a combinator" guide](https://github.com/Geal/nom/blob/master/doc/choosing_a_combinator.md)** //! //! If you are upgrading to nom 2.0, please read the //! [migration document](https://github.com/Geal/nom/blob/master/doc/upgrading_to_nom_2.md). //! //! If you are upgrading to nom 4.0, please read the //! [migration document](https://github.com/Geal/nom/blob/master/doc/upgrading_to_nom_4.md). //! //! See also the [FAQ](https://github.com/Geal/nom/blob/master/doc/FAQ.md). //! //! ## Parser combinators //! //! Parser combinators are an approach to parsers that is very different from //! software like [lex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lex_(software)) and //! [yacc](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yacc). Instead of writing the grammar //! in a separate file and generating the corresponding code, you use very small //! functions with very specific purpose, like "take 5 bytes", or "recognize the //! word 'HTTP'", and assemble then in meaningful patterns like "recognize //! 'HTTP', then a space, then a version". //! The resulting code is small, and looks like the grammar you would have //! written with other parser approaches. //! //! This has a few advantages: //! //! - the parsers are small and easy to write //! - the parsers components are easy to reuse (if they're general enough, please add them to nom!) //! - the parsers components are easy to test separately (unit tests and property-based tests) //! - the parser combination code looks close to the grammar you would have written //! - you can build partial parsers, specific to the data you need at the moment, and ignore the rest //! //! Here is an example of one such parser, to recognize text between parentheses: //! //! ```rust //! #[macro_use] //! extern crate nom; //! //! # fn main() { //! named!(parens, delimited!(char!('('), is_not!(")"), char!(')'))); //! # } //! ``` //! //! It defines a function named `parens`, which will recognize a sequence of the character `(`, the longest byte array not containing `)`, then the character `)`, and will return the byte array in the middle. //! //! Here is another parser, written without using nom's macros this time: //! //! ```rust //! #[macro_use] //! extern crate nom; //! //! use nom::{IResult,Err,Needed}; //! //! # fn main() { //! fn take4(i:&[u8]) -> IResult<&[u8], &[u8]>{ //! if i.len() < 4 { //! Err(Err::Incomplete(Needed::Size(4))) //! } else { //! Ok((&i[4..],&i[0..4])) //! } //! } //! # } //! ``` //! //! This function takes a byte array as input, and tries to consume 4 bytes. //! Writing all the parsers manually, like this, is dangerous, despite Rust's safety features. There //! are still a lot of mistakes one can make. That's why nom provides a list of macros to help in //! developing parsers. //! //! With macros, you would write it like this: //! //! ```rust //! #[macro_use] //! extern crate nom; //! //! # fn main() { //! named!(take4, take!(4)); //! # } //! ``` //! //! A parser in nom is a function which, for an input type `I`, an output type `O` //! and an optional error type `E`, will have the following signature: //! //! ```rust,ignore //! fn parser(input: I) -> IResult<I, O, E>; //! ``` //! //! Or like this, if you don't want to specify a custom error type (it will be `u32` by default): //! //! ```rust,ignore //! fn parser(input: I) -> IResult<I, O>; //! ``` //! //! `IResult` is an alias for the `Result` type: //! //! ```rust //! use nom::{Needed, Context}; //! //! type IResult<I, O, E = u32> = Result<(I, O), Err<I, E>>; //! //! enum Err<I, E = u32> { //! Incomplete(Needed), //! Error(Context<I, E>), //! Failure(Context<I, E>), //! } //! ``` //! //! It can have the following values: //! //! - a correct result `Ok((I,O))` with the first element being the remaining of the input (not parsed yet), and the second the output value; //! - an error `Err(Err::Error(c))` with `c` an enum that contains an error code with its position in the input, and optionally a chain of accumulated errors; //! - an error `Err(Err::Incomplete(Needed))` indicating that more input is necessary. `Needed` can indicate how much data is needed //! - an error `Err(Err::Failure(c))`. It works like the `Error` case, except it indicates an unrecoverable error: we cannot backtrack and test another parser //! //! Please refer to the [documentation][doc] for an exhaustive list of parsers. See also the //! ["choose a combinator" guide](https://github.com/Geal/nom/blob/master/doc/choosing_a_combinator.md)**. //! //! ## Making new parsers with macros //! //! Macros are the main way to make new parsers by combining other ones. Those macros accept other macros or function names as arguments. You then need to make a function out of that combinator with **`named!`**, or a closure with **`closure!`**. Here is how you would do, with the **`tag!`** and **`take!`** combinators: //! //! ```rust //! # #[macro_use] extern crate nom; //! # fn main() { //! named!(abcd_parser, tag!("abcd")); // will consume bytes if the input begins with "abcd" //! //! named!(take_10, take!(10)); // will consume and return 10 bytes of input //! # } //! ``` //! //! The **`named!`** macro can take three different syntaxes: //! //! ```rust,ignore //! named!(my_function( &[u8] ) -> &[u8], tag!("abcd")); //! //! named!(my_function<&[u8], &[u8]>, tag!("abcd")); //! //! named!(my_function, tag!("abcd")); // when you know the parser takes &[u8] as input, and returns &[u8] as output //! ``` //! //! **IMPORTANT NOTE**: Rust's macros can be very sensitive to the syntax, so you may encounter an error compiling parsers like this one: //! //! ```rust //! # #[macro_use] extern crate nom; //! # #[cfg(feature = "alloc")] //! # fn main() { //! named!(my_function<&[u8], Vec<&[u8]>>, many0!(tag!("abcd"))); //! # } //! //! # #[cfg(not(feature = "alloc"))] //! # fn main() {} //! ``` //! //! You will get the following error: `error: expected an item keyword`. This //! happens because `>>` is seen as an operator, so the macro parser does not //! recognize what we want. There is a way to avoid it, by inserting a space: //! //! ```rust //! # #[macro_use] extern crate nom; //! # #[cfg(feature = "alloc")] //! # fn main() { //! named!(my_function<&[u8], Vec<&[u8]> >, many0!(tag!("abcd"))); //! # } //! # #[cfg(not(feature = "alloc"))] //! # fn main() {} //! ``` //! //! This will compile correctly. I am very sorry for this inconvenience. //! //! ## Combining parsers //! //! There are more high level patterns, like the **`alt!`** combinator, which provides a choice between multiple parsers. If one branch fails, it tries the next, and returns the result of the first parser that succeeds: //! //! ```rust //! # #[macro_use] extern crate nom; //! # fn main() { //! named!(alt_tags, alt!(tag!("abcd") | tag!("efgh"))); //! //! assert_eq!(alt_tags(b"abcdxxx"), Ok((&b"xxx"[..], &b"abcd"[..]))); //! assert_eq!(alt_tags(b"efghxxx"), Ok((&b"xxx"[..], &b"efgh"[..]))); //! assert_eq!(alt_tags(b"ijklxxx"), Err(nom::Err::Error(error_position!(&b"ijklxxx"[..], nom::ErrorKind::Alt)))); //! # } //! ``` //! //! The pipe `|` character is used as separator. //! //! The **`opt!`** combinator makes a parser optional. If the child parser returns an error, **`opt!`** will succeed and return None: //! //! ```rust //! # #[macro_use] extern crate nom; //! # fn main() { //! named!( abcd_opt< &[u8], Option<&[u8]> >, opt!( tag!("abcd") ) ); //! //! assert_eq!(abcd_opt(b"abcdxxx"), Ok((&b"xxx"[..], Some(&b"abcd"[..])))); //! assert_eq!(abcd_opt(b"efghxxx"), Ok((&b"efghxxx"[..], None))); //! # } //! ``` //! //! **`many0!`** applies a parser 0 or more times, and returns a vector of the aggregated results: //! //! ```rust //! # #[macro_use] extern crate nom; //! # #[cfg(feature = "alloc")] //! # fn main() { //! use std::str; //! //! named!(multi< Vec<&str> >, many0!( map_res!(tag!( "abcd" ), str::from_utf8) ) ); //! let a = b"abcdef"; //! let b = b"abcdabcdef"; //! let c = b"azerty"; //! assert_eq!(multi(a), Ok((&b"ef"[..], vec!["abcd"]))); //! assert_eq!(multi(b), Ok((&b"ef"[..], vec!["abcd", "abcd"]))); //! assert_eq!(multi(c), Ok((&b"azerty"[..], Vec::new()))); //! # } //! # #[cfg(not(feature = "alloc"))] //! # fn main() {} //! ``` //! //! Here are some basic combining macros available: //! //! - **`opt!`**: will make the parser optional (if it returns the `O` type, the new parser returns `Option<O>`) //! - **`many0!`**: will apply the parser 0 or more times (if it returns the `O` type, the new parser returns `Vec<O>`) //! - **`many1!`**: will apply the parser 1 or more times //! //! There are more complex (and more useful) parsers like `do_parse!` and `tuple!`, which are used to apply a series of parsers then assemble their results. //! //! Example with `tuple!`: //! //! ```rust //! # #[macro_use] extern crate nom; //! # fn main() { //! use nom::{ErrorKind, Needed,be_u16}; //! //! named!(tpl<&[u8], (u16, &[u8], &[u8]) >, //! tuple!( //! be_u16 , //! take!(3), //! tag!("fg") //! ) //! ); //! //! assert_eq!( //! tpl(&b"abcdefgh"[..]), //! Ok(( //! &b"h"[..], //! (0x6162u16, &b"cde"[..], &b"fg"[..]) //! )) //! ); //! assert_eq!(tpl(&b"abcde"[..]), Err(nom::Err::Incomplete(Needed::Size(2)))); //! let input = &b"abcdejk"[..]; //! assert_eq!(tpl(input), Err(nom::Err::Error(error_position!(&input[5..], ErrorKind::Tag)))); //! # } //! ``` //! //! Example with `do_parse!`: //! //! ```rust //! # #[macro_use] extern crate nom; //! # fn main() { //! use nom::IResult; //! //! #[derive(Debug, PartialEq)] //! struct A { //! a: u8, //! b: u8 //! } //! //! fn ret_int1(i:&[u8]) -> IResult<&[u8], u8> { Ok((i,1)) } //! fn ret_int2(i:&[u8]) -> IResult<&[u8], u8> { Ok((i,2)) } //! //! named!(f<&[u8],A>, //! do_parse!( // the parser takes a byte array as input, and returns an A struct //! tag!("abcd") >> // begins with "abcd" //! opt!(tag!("abcd")) >> // this is an optional parser //! aa: ret_int1 >> // the return value of ret_int1, if it does not fail, will be stored in aa //! tag!("efgh") >> //! bb: ret_int2 >> //! tag!("efgh") >> //! //! (A{a: aa, b: bb}) // the final tuple will be able to use the variable defined previously //! ) //! ); //! //! let r = f(b"abcdabcdefghefghX"); //! assert_eq!(r, Ok((&b"X"[..], A{a: 1, b: 2}))); //! //! let r2 = f(b"abcdefghefghX"); //! assert_eq!(r2, Ok((&b"X"[..], A{a: 1, b: 2}))); //! # } //! ``` //! //! The double right arrow `>>` is used as separator between every parser in the sequence, and the last closure can see the variables storing the result of parsers. Unless the specified return type is already a tuple, the final line should be that type wrapped in a tuple. //! //! More examples of [`do_parse!`](macro.do_parse.html) and [`tuple!`](macro.tuple.html) usage can be found in the [INI file parser example](tests/ini.rs). //! //! **Going further:** read the [guides](https://github.com/Geal/nom/tree/master/doc)! #![cfg_attr(all(not(feature = "std"), feature = "alloc"), feature(alloc))] #![cfg_attr(not(feature = "std"), no_std)] //#![warn(missing_docs)] #![cfg_attr(feature = "cargo-clippy", allow(doc_markdown))] #![cfg_attr(nightly, feature(test))] #[cfg(all(not(feature = "std"), feature = "alloc"))] #[macro_use] extern crate alloc; #[cfg(feature = "regexp_macros")] #[macro_use] extern crate lazy_static; extern crate memchr; #[cfg(feature = "regexp")] pub extern crate regex; #[cfg(nightly)] extern crate test; /// Lib module to re-export everything needed from `std` or `core`/`alloc`.
