Asynchronous parser taking incremental bites out of your byte input stream.
The bite-parser is a parser combinator library for Python.
It is similar to PyParsing <https://github.com/pyparsing/pyparsing>_
in that it allows the construction of grammars for parsing
from simple building blocks in pure Python.
This approach is also known as Parsing Expression Grammar (PEG) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsing_expression_grammar>_.
While PyParsing
(and many other Python parsing libraries)
only support string,
bite-parser operates on bytes.
In addition,
bite-parser makes use of asyncio
and can asynchronously generate parsed items
from an input stream.
A typical use-case would be the parsing of a network protocol
like IMAP.
In fact,
I wrote this library for the IMAP implementation of my
dmarc-metrics-exporter <https://github.com/jgosmann/dmarc-metrics-exporter>_.
.. note:: I have implemented the fundamental set of parsers, which should allow constructing most or all grammars recognizable by this type of parser. However, many convenience or higher level parsers are not yet implemented.
Other areas that still need improvement are:
