Token Parsing

whiteSpace :: TokenParsing m => m ()

Skip zero or more bytes worth of white space. More complex parsers are free to consider comments as white space.

charLiteral :: TokenParsing m => m Char

This token parser parses a single literal character. Returns the literal character value. This parsers deals correctly with escape sequences. The literal character is parsed according to the grammar rules defined in the Haskell report (which matches most programming languages quite closely).

stringLiteral :: (TokenParsing m, IsString s) => m s

This token parser parses a literal string. Returns the literal string value. This parsers deals correctly with escape sequences and gaps. The literal string is parsed according to the grammar rules defined in the Haskell report (which matches most programming languages quite closely).

stringLiteral' :: (TokenParsing m, IsString s) => m s

This token parser behaves as stringLiteral, but for single-quoted strings.

natural :: TokenParsing m => m Integer

This token parser parses a natural number (a positive whole number). Returns the value of the number. The number can be specified in decimal, hexadecimal or octal. The number is parsed according to the grammar rules in the Haskell report.

integer :: TokenParsing m => m Integer

This token parser parses an integer (a whole number). This parser is like natural except that it can be prefixed with sign (i.e. '-' or '+'). Returns the value of the number. The number can be specified in decimal, hexadecimal or octal. The number is parsed according to the grammar rules in the Haskell report.

double :: TokenParsing m => m Double

This token parser parses a floating point value. Returns the value of the number. The number is parsed according to the grammar rules defined in the Haskell report.

naturalOrDouble :: TokenParsing m => m (Either Integer Double)

This token parser parses either natural or a float. Returns the value of the number. This parsers deals with any overlap in the grammar rules for naturals and floats. The number is parsed according to the grammar rules defined in the Haskell report.

integerOrDouble :: TokenParsing m => m (Either Integer Double)

This token parser is like naturalOrDouble, but handles leading - or +.

scientific :: TokenParsing m => m Scientific

This token parser parses a floating point value. Returns the value of the number. The number is parsed according to the grammar rules defined in the Haskell report.

naturalOrScientific :: TokenParsing m => m (Either Integer Scientific)

Token Parsing Class

class CharParsing m => TokenParsing m where

Additional functionality that is needed to tokenize input while ignoring whitespace.

Minimal complete definition

Nothing

Methods

someSpace :: m ()

Usually, someSpace consists of one or more occurrences of a space. Some parsers may choose to recognize line comments or block (multi line) comments as white space as well.

nesting :: m a -> m a

Called when we enter a nested pair of symbols. Overloadable to enable disabling layout

semi :: m Char

The token parser |semi| parses the character ';' and skips any trailing white space. Returns the character ';'. Overloadable to permit automatic semicolon insertion or Haskell-style layout.

highlight :: Highlight -> m a -> m a

Tag a region of parsed text with a bit of semantic information. Most parsers won't use this, but it is indispensible for highlighters.

token :: m a -> m a

token p first applies parser p and then the whiteSpace parser, returning the value of p. Every lexical token (token) is defined using token, this way every parse starts at a point without white space. Parsers that use token are called token parsers in this document.

The only point where the whiteSpace parser should be called explicitly is the start of the main parser in order to skip any leading white space.

Alternatively, one might define token as first parsing whiteSpace and then parser p. By parsing whiteSpace first, the parser is able to return before parsing additional whiteSpace, improving laziness.

mainParser  = sum <$ whiteSpace <*> many (token digit) <* eof
