This is an S-Expression parser and formatter with the following goals:
Offering direct access to the tokenizer, anysexpr::parse
, but also
anysexpr::read
to build an in-memory tree easily.
Good error reporting (precise location information and messages).
(Future) Make the data constructors for anysexpr::read
parametrizable (generic), e.g. like in the sexpr_parser
crate.
Streaming: allow to read from and print to file handles lazily, for
use e.g. in communications. This currently works by using
anysexpr::parse
directly for input, or creating tokens to print
via a custom loop for output. Future: more possibilities, e.g. turn
a tree into a token stream, or parameterize with a tree that's
generated on demand while printing.
(Future) Support various s-expression variants (R*RS, Guile, Clojure, Common Lisp, ..) via runtime (and compile-time?) settings.
(Perhaps) be usable on microcontrollers (small code, no-std?).
The author is quite new to Rust. There will be API guideline entries not currently being followed, help in that area is as welcome as in other areas.
See examples/main.rs.
