Enum/Stream pattern matching parser library?

[adw632]

I do believe that @OvermindDL1 did say ExSpirit can work on non string based streams so you may be able to make it work with structured data.

I can’t really comment on feasibility other than what he wrote here:

@OvermindDL1

That’s actually a pattern that the C++ Spirit supports (it can accept any kind of iterable, not just strings), and my ExSpirit follows the same conventions. The only things that assume strings are the things in the Text module. It would be very trivial to create a, oh, Matcher module or token matching (you can create it in user code with ease, a single function would probably work very well, I think C++'s token parsing uses just a single terminal to handle it all). The main ExSpirit library is agnostic to what is actually being parsed (ignoring a few things like eoi and lexemethat I really should protocolize or at least handle a few erlang-style forms of). But parsing non-strings was entirely in mind when it was designed.

Strangely enough that was in response to a comment by Sasha from the video you linked, as he used the slower combine parser which wasn’t a significant factor for his use case.
