Show Sexp
IsString Sexp
Sexpable Sexp

sexpParser :: Parser Sexp Source

A parser for S-Expressions. Ignoring whitespace, we follow the following EBNF:

SEXP ::= '(' ATOM* ')' | ATOM ATOM ::= '' ESCAPED_STRING* '' | [^ tn()]+ ESCAPED_STRING ::= ...

data ParseException Source

Constructors

ParseException String ByteString

Instances

Show ParseException
Typeable ParseException
Exception ParseException

parse :: ByteString -> Either (String, ByteString) [Sexp]Source

Parse S-Expressions from a lazy ByteString. If the parse was successful, Right sexps is returned; otherwise, Left (errorMsg, leftover) is returned.

parseExn :: ByteString -> [Sexp]Source

A variant of parse that throws a ParseException if the parse fails.

parseMaybe :: ByteString -> Maybe [Sexp]Source

A variant of parse that returns Nothing if the parse fails.
