| //! # Custom [`Stream`] |
| //! |
| //! `winnow` is batteries included with support for |
| //! - Basic inputs like `&str`, newtypes with |
| //! - Improved debug output like [`Bytes`] |
| //! - [`Stateful`] for passing state through your parser, like tracking recursion |
| //! depth |
| //! - [`Located`] for looking up the absolute position of a token |
| //! |
| //! But that won't always cut it for your parser. For example, you might lex `&str` into |
| //! a series of tokens and then want to parse a `TokenStream`. |
| //! |
| //! ## Implementing a custom stream |
| //! |
| //! Let's assume we have an input type we'll call `MyStream`. |
| //! `MyStream` is a sequence of `MyItem` type. |
| //! |
| //! The goal is to define parsers with this signature: `&mut MyStream -> PResult<Output>`. |
| //! ```rust |
| //! # use winnow::prelude::*; |
| //! # type MyStream<'i> = &'i str; |
| //! # type Output<'i> = &'i str; |
| //! fn parser<'s>(i: &mut MyStream<'s>) -> PResult<Output<'s>> { |
| //! "test".parse_next(i) |
| //! } |
| //! ``` |
| //! |
| //! Here are the traits you may have to implement for `MyStream`: |
| //! |
| //! | trait | usage | |
| //! |---|---| |
| //! | [`Stream`] |Core trait for driving parsing| |
| //! | [`StreamIsPartial`] | Marks the input as being the complete buffer or a partial buffer for streaming input | |
| //! | [`AsBytes`] |Casts the input type to a byte slice| |
| //! | [`AsBStr`] |Casts the input type to a slice of ASCII / UTF-8-like bytes| |
| //! | [`Compare`] |Character comparison operations| |
| //! | [`FindSlice`] |Look for a substring in self| |
| //! | [`Location`] |Calculate location within initial input| |
| //! | [`Offset`] |Calculate the offset between slices| |
| //! |
| //! And for `MyItem`: |
| //! |
| //! | trait | usage | |
| //! |---|---| |
| //! | [`AsChar`] |Transforms common types to a char for basic token parsing| |
| //! | [`ContainsToken`] |Look for the token in the given set| |
| //! |
| //! And traits for `&[MyItem]`: |
| //! |
| //! | trait | usage | |
| //! |---|---| |
| //! | [`SliceLen`] |Calculate the input length| |
| //! | [`ParseSlice`] |Used to integrate `&str`'s `parse()` method| |
| //! |
| //! ## Implementing a custom token |
| //! |
| //! If you are parsing `&[Myitem]`, leaving just the `MyItem` traits. |
| //! |
| //! For example: |
| //! ```rust |
| #![doc = include_str!("../../examples/arithmetic/parser_lexer.rs")] |
| //! ``` |
