Changelog

6.0.0

  • Dart 3.0 requirement.
  • Use Dart Records for typed sequences:
    • Add convenience converter: (char('a'), char('b')).toSequenceParser()
    • And extension methods to emulate the old Sequence classes, deprecate old accessors.
  • Make Result a sealed class to be able to pattern match Success and Failure.
    • Removed the unused generic type of Failure, which is of type Result<Never> now.
    • Deprecated isSuccess and isFailure, instead use the more efficient is Success and is Failure operators.
  • Reintroduce hasSideEffect in MapParser and consider callbacks to be side-effect free by default.
  • The above changes give typical parser speed improvements between 10% and 30%.

5.4.0

  • Dart 2.19 requirement, enabled strict casts and type inference.
  • Introduce repeating character parser starString, plusString, timesString and repeatString for extra fast reading of strings.
  • Renamed AnyParser to AnyCharacterParser, and CharacterParser to SingleCharacterParser for consistency.
  • Add support for optional expression groups in the ExpressionBuilder.
  • Optimize, cleanup, and improve code and documentation.
  • Add optimize to in-place optimize parser graphs.

5.3.0

  • Maintenance release deprecating some old code in anticipation of the upcoming major release.
  • Deprecate the old way of defining primitive parsers and move the functionality directly to ExpressionBuilder.
  • Deprecate GrammarDefinition.build(Function, List<Object?>), use buildFrom(Parser) for a strongly typed parser instead.
  • Replace various uses of exception throwing with assertions, which yields code the compiler can optimize better.

5.2.0

  • Add @useResult to parser constructors to avoid bugs when using the old parser instance.
  • Add a linter rule to detect unoptimized flatten parsers.

5.1.0

  • Dart 2.18 requirement.
  • Add seq2, seq3, ... combinator functions returning strongly typed sequences of Sequence2<R1, R2>, Sequence3<R1, R2, R3>, ...
  • Add Parser.starSeparated, Parser.plusSeparated, Parser.timesSeparated, and Parser.repeatSeparated returning SeparatedList with the strongly typed elements and separators. Deprecate the dynamically typed Parser.separatedBy.
  • Add Parser.matchesAll that creates a lazy iterable over the (overlapping or non-overlapping) successful parse results. Deprecate matches and matchesSkipping.
  • Add a native platform independent newline parser.
  • Add a section on debugging to the tutorial.
  • Remove the deprecated ref0, ref1, ... instance methods, these methods are globally defined since 4.2.0.
  • Make GrammarDefinition and GrammarDefinition.start() optionally typed.

5.0.0

  • Dart 2.16 requirement.
  • Moved PetitParser examples to a separate Git repository: https://github.com/petitparser/dart-petitparser-examples.
  • Add a skip helper that silently consumes input before and/or after another parser.
  • Make the ExpressionBuilder<T> statically typed. This requires existing code to specify the desired result type, and provide all reduction actions.
  • Deprecate hasSideEffect in MapParser by considering all callbacks to have side-effects, the benefit of the added complications is negligible.
  • Add charIgnoringCase, and provide better standard error messages for character parsers.
  • Add initial support for indentation based grammars.

4.4.0

  • Dart 2.15 requirement.
  • Add a PatternParser that allows to use any Dart Pattern as a parser.
  • Greatly improve the test coverage of all code to 98%.

4.3.0

  • Dart 2.14 requirement.
  • Add a labeled parser, that allows to add a debug label to the parser graph.
  • Extract Predicate<T> and Callback<T> function types to shared file.
  • Change debug functions to named arguments, and generate output events with first class objects instead of strings.
  • Various improvements to the Analyzer:
    • Compute all deeply referenced children.
    • Compute all paths or the shortest path between parsers.
  • Fix inaccuracies in character parser documentation and tutorial.
  • Add more grammar linter rules that detect common bugs.

4.2.0

  • Dart 2.13 requirement.
  • ref0, ref1, ref2, ... is now also usable outside of GrammarDefinition.
    • Use resolve to inline all the referenced parsers, which now also works with SettableParser.
    • Deprecated removeSettables, that is superseded by the more powerful resolve operation.
  • Add the possibility to join multiple Token and transform their values.
  • Add Analyzer to compute nullability, as well as first-, follow-, and cycle-sets of parsers.
  • Add a linter that performs a series of checks on grammar graphs.
  • Expand the tutorial with a section on testing.

4.1.0

  • Add the option to select the failure join strategy on ChoiceParser parsers:
    • selectLast is the default strategy, reporting the failure of the last parser tried.
    • selectFarthest reports the parser failure the farthest down in the input string, preferring later failures to earlier ones.
    • selectFarthestJoined is the same as above, but joins error messages that happen at the same position.
  • Properly type all delegate parsers in choice, sequence, repeat, action, ...
    • Fix typing in transformParser and its users (debug tools, optimizers). To fix type your transformation function.
    • Fix typing of GrammarDefinition and reference parsers. To take advantage replace uses of ref with ref0, ref1, ...
    • Deprecate GrammarParser, a no longer needed wrapper around GrammarDefinition. Call build() on the definition to get the parser.
  • Improve documentation and add a tutorial section on GrammarDefinition.

4.0.0

  • Dart 2.12 requirement and null-safety.
  • Success.message throws an UnsupportedError exception, instead of returning null.
  • DelegateParser has been made abstract to avoid a concrete class in-between abstract classes.
  • Parser.delegate() has been removed, use Parser.settable() as an equivalent replacement.
  • Parser.optional() is now returning Parser<T?>, to provide a non-null default value use Parser.optionalWith(T value).
  • Parser.not() is now returning the failure Parser<Failure> as success value, instead of null.
  • epsilon() is now returning Parser<void>, to provide a non-null default value use epsilonWith(T value).
  • Removed const constructor from Parser hierarchy, as most parsers are inherently mutable and having some constant makes things inconsistent and more complicated than necessary.

3.1.0

  • Fix missing type information on eof and failure parser.
  • Optimize character predicates by using lookup tables.
  • Improvements to documentation and examples.

3.0.0

  • Dart 2.7 compatibility and requirement (extension methods).
  • New features:
    • String.toParser() enables creating efficient string and character parsers more easily.
    • Iterable.toChoiceParser() and Iterable.toSequenceParser() enables creating parsers from collections more easily.
    • Parser.callCC(Function) enables capturing a parse continuation more easily.
  • Restructure the internal code to be more modular:
    • The Parser class now only defines a few core methods, everything else is an extension method.
    • As long as you continue to import package:petitparser/petitparser.dart none of the changes should affect existing code.
    • Parser implementations have been moved to package:petitparser/parser.dart.
    • Helpers to parse and extract data has been moved to package:petitparser/matcher.dart.
    • The expression builder has been moved to package:petitparser/expression.dart.
    • The grammar builder has been moved topackage:petitparser/definition.dart.
  • Breaking changes:
    • Parser is no longer a Pattern, but can be converted to one with toPattern.
    • anyIn has been removed in favor of the already existing and equivalent anyOf parser.
    • pick and permute are defined on Parser<List>, thus they won't be available on the more generic Parser<dynamic> any longer. Prefix the operators with a castList operator.
