Gombi: Creating Your Own Parser is Easier than Regular Expressions
Gombi is a combinator-style scanner & parser library written in Go. It is practical, reasonably fast and extremely easy to use. Quick start go get -u h12.io/gombi Design Combinator parsers are straightforward to construct, modular and easily maintainable, compared to parser generators like Lex/Yacc. Internal DSL no additional code generation and compilation. Composable a subset of the syntax tree is also a parser. a language can be easily embedded into another one. Gombi is inspired by but not limited to parser combinators. Unlike a combinator parser, Gombi neither limits its API to functional only, nor limits its implementation to functional combinators. Go is not a pure functional language as Haskell, so cloning a combinator parser like Parsec to Go will only lead to an implementaion much worse than Parsec. Instead, Gombi is free to choose any Go language structures that are suitable for a modular and convenient API, and any algorithms that can be efficiently implemented in Go. ...
