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.
