reparse 2.1.0 · OCaml Package

Provides functions to support infix and let syntax operators.

Open the module to use it:

open Reparse.Infix

val (>>=) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b t) -> 'b t

p >>= f returns a new parser b where,

a is the parsed value of p
b is f a

Also known as bind operation.

Examples

module P = Reparse
open P

;;
let f a = P.pure (Char.code a) in
let p = P.char 'h' in
let p = p >>= f in
let v = P.parse_string p "hello" in
v = 104

val (>>|) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b t

p >>| f returns a new parser encapsulating value b where,

a is the parsed value of p.
b is f a.

Also known as map operation.

Examples

module P = Reparse
open P

;;
let f a = Char.code a in
let p = P.char 'h' in
let p = p >>| f in
let v = P.parse_string p "hello" in
v = 104

val (>|=) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b t

p >|= f returns a new parser encapsulating value b where,

a is the parsed value of p.
b is f a.

Also known as map operation.

Examples

module P = Reparse
open P

;;
let f a = Char.code a in
let p = P.char 'h' in
let p = p >|= f in
let v = P.parse_string p "hello" in
v = 104

deprecated Use >>| instead.

val (<*>) : ('a -> 'b) t -> 'a t -> 'b t

pf <*> q returns a new parser encapsulating value b where

pf and q are evaluated sequentially in order as given.
f is the parsed value of pf
a is the parsed value of q
b is f a

Also known as Applicative operation.

Examples

module P = Reparse
open P

;;
let f a = a + 2 in
let pf = P.pure f in
let q = P.pure 2 in
let p = pf <*> q in
let v = P.parse_string p "hello" in
v = 4

val (<$) : 'b -> 'a t -> 'b t

v <$ p replaces the parse value of p with v.

Examples

module P = Reparse
open P

;;
let v = "hello" in
let p = P.char 'h' in
let p = v <$ p in
let v2 = P.parse_string p "hello" in
v2 = "hello"

val (<$>) : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a t -> 'b t

f <$> p returns a parser encapsulating value b where,

a is the parsed value of p
b is f a

This is the infix version of Reparse.Infix.map.

Examples

module P = Reparse
open P

;;
let f a = a ^ " world" in
let p = P.string "hello" in
let p = f <$> p in
let v = P.parse_string p "hello" in
v = "hello world"

val (*>) : _ t -> 'a t -> 'a t

p *> q returns a parser encapsulating value a where,

p, q are evaluated sequentially in order as given.
a is parsed value of q.
The parsed value of p is discarded.

Also known as discard left.

Examples

module P = Reparse
open P

;;
let p = P.string "world" in
let q = P.pure "hello" in
let p = p *> q in
let v = P.parse_string p "world" in
v = "hello"

val (<*) : 'a t -> _ t -> 'a t

p <* q returns a parser encapsulating value a where,

p, q are evaluated sequentially in order as given.
a is parsed value of p.
The parsed value of q is discarded.

Also know as discard_right.

Examples

module P = Reparse
open P

;;
let p = P.string "world" in
let q = P.pure "hello" in
let p = p <* q in
let v = P.parse_string p "world" in
v = "world"

val (<|>) : 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a t

p <|> q returns a parser encapsulating value a where,

p,q are evaluated sequentially in order as given.
a is the parsed value of p if p is successful
a is the parsed value of q if p is a failure and q is a success.
If both - p and q - fails, then the parser fails.

Examples

p fails and q succeeds, therefore we return q's parsed value 'w'

module P = Reparse
open P

;;
let p = P.char 'h' in
let q = P.char 'w' in
let p = p <|> q in
let v = P.parse_string p "world" in
v = 'w'

p succeeds therefore we return its parsed value 'h'

let p = P.char 'h' in
let q = P.char 'w' in
let p = p <|> q in
let v = P.parse_string p "hello" in
v = 'h'

The parser fails if both p and q fails.

let p = P.char 'h' in
let q = P.char 'w' in
let p = p <|> q in
let v =
  try
    let _ = P.parse_string p "" in
    false
  with
  | _ -> true
in
v = true

val (<?>) : 'a t -> string -> 'a t

p <?> err_msg parses p to value a and returns a new parser encapsulating a. If p is a failure, then it fails with error message err_msg.

Often used as a last choice in <|>, e.g. a <|> b <|> c <?> "expected a b c".

Examples

module P = Reparse
open P

;;
let p = P.char 'h' <|> P.char 'w' in
let err_msg = "[error]" in
let p = p <?> err_msg in
let v =
  try
    let _ = P.parse_string p "" in
    false
  with
  | P.Parser
      { offset = 0
      ; line_number = 0
      ; column_number = 0
      ; msg = "[error]"
      } ->
    true
  | _ -> false
in
v = true

val let* : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b t) -> 'b t

let* is a let syntax binding for Reparse.Infix.((>>=))

Examples

module P = Reparse
open P

;;
let p =
  let* a = P.pure 5 in
  let total = a + 5 in
  P.pure total
in
let v = P.parse_string p "" in
v = 10

val and* : 'a t -> 'b t -> ('a * 'b) t

val let+ : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b t

let* is a let syntax binding for Reparse.((>|=))

Examples

module P = Reparse
open P

;;
let p =
  let+ a = P.pure 5 in
  let total = a + 5 in
  total
in
let v = P.parse_string p "" in
v = 10

val and+ : 'a t -> 'b t -> ('a * 'b) t
