add parser library - Githubissues

azzamsa commented 10 months ago

Hi.

Is there any chance to add parser library. Such as nom and pest?

Thanks!

https://github.com/rosetta-rs/parse-rosetta-rs has a basic comparison of some parsers for possibly linking to for such an item / list

An interesting aspect to this is deciding what library or libraries to include

Looking over my prior link, we can divide it by style

Then there is by download count. Of those in the millions, there are

nom which is widely used but development is a "once every couple years" mode with the maintainer taking the approach "anything you need can be worked around on your side"
winnow but its download count is almost exclusively from being a dependency of toml
pest which I think is back under active development again as it went a period without attention from the maintainers
combine which doesn't get much active development

Application

Nebulous "up and coming"

chumsky is getting a lot of attention with its focus on programming language parsing
yap I find fascinating just for its simplicity
winnow is the fastest and has a strong emphasis on ease-of-use (disclosure: I'm the author)

One that is not on parse-rosetta-rs that could be of interested for a limited set of use cases is logos as its just a lexer but sounds intriguing.
