binary-parsers

This package extends binary with parsec/attoparsec style parsing combinators. It's useful when you want to deal with various binary format, and it's very fast. You can now write more complex Binary instances using comprehensive combinators, with serialisation packages like blaze-texual.

Binary's Get monad is designed to perform best on non-backtracking cases, but it still provides fast backtracking support via Alternative instance, it's overall an excellent alternative to attoparsec if you only deal with ByteString.

Building

binary-parsers comes with a test suite modified from attoparsec, and a JSON parsing benchmarks. Here you go:

git clone https://github.com/winterland1989/binary-parsers.git
cd binary-parsers
cabal update
cabal configure --enable-tests --enable-benchmarks
cabal build

Run the test suite and benchmarks.

cabal test
cabal bench
