//! # 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`. //! ```rust //! # use winnow::prelude::*; //! # use winnow::token::tag; //! # type MyStream<'i> = &'i str; //! # type Output<'i> = &'i str; //! fn parser<'s>(i: &mut MyStream<'s>) -> PResult> { //! "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")] //! ``` #[allow(unused_imports)] // Here for intra-dock links use crate::stream::*;
