Parses ABNF with a parser written with nimble_parsec, emits parser consists of nimble_parsec combinators.
- Brevity - flattens unnecessary nesting in parsed ABNF
- Easy to config and customize
- Full test coverage
The package is available on Hex
and can be installed by adding abnf_parsec to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:
def deps do
[
{:abnf_parsec, "~> 1.0", runtime: false}
]
endDocumentation can be generated with ExDoc and published on HexDocs. Once published, the docs can be found at https://hexdocs.pm/abnf_parsec.
