regex-applicative is a Haskell library for parsing using regular
|
|
expressions. Parsers can be built using Applicative interface.
|
|
|
|
Perl programmers often use regular expressions for parsing, even if
|
|
it is not an appropriate tool for the job, because Perl has so good
|
|
support for regexps.
|
|
|
|
The opposite seems to be valid about Haskell programmers -- they
|
|
use parsing combinators (which recognize context-free or even
|
|
context-sensitive grammars), even when the language is actually
|
|
regular!
|
|
|
|
Hopefully, this library will improve the situation.
