Accelerating parser combinators with macros [PDF]
Parser combinators provide an elegant way of writing parsers: parser implementations closely follow the structure of the underlying grammar, while accommodating interleaved host language code for data processing. However, the host language features used for composition introduce substantial overhead, which leads to poor performance.In this paper, we ...

Staged parser combinators for efficient data processing [PDF]
Parsers are ubiquitous in computing, and many applications depend on their performance for decoding data efficiently. Parser combinators are an intuitive tool for writing parsers: tight integration with the host language enables grammar specifications to be interleaved with processing of parse results.

Efficient parsing with parser combinators
Parser combinators offer a universal and flexible approach to parsing. They follow the structure of an underlying grammar, are modular, well-structured, easy to maintain, and can recognize a large variety of languages including context-sensitive ones. However, these advantages introduce a noticeable performance overhead mainly because the same powerful

Practical, general parser combinators [PDF]
Parser combinators are a popular approach to parsing where context-free grammars are represented as executable code. However, conventional parser combinators do not support left recursion, and can have worst-case exponential runtime. These limitations hinder the expressivity and performance predictability of parser combinators when constructing parsers

Staged selective parser combinators [PDF]
Parser combinators are a middle ground between the fine control of hand-rolled parsers and the high-level almost grammar-like appearance of parsers created via parser generators. They also promote a cleaner, compositional design for parsers. Historically, however, they cannot match the performance of their counterparts.

Parser combinators in Scala [PDF]
Parser combinators are well-known in functional programming languages such as Haskell. In this paper, we describe how they are implemented as a library in Scala, a functional object-oriented language. Thanks to Scala's flexible syntax, we are able to closely approximate the EBNF notation supported by dedicated parser generators. For the uninitiated, we

Combinator Parsers: From Toys to Tools
AbstractWe develop, in a stepwise fashion, a set of parser combinators for constructing deterministic, error-correcting parsers. The only restriction on the grammar is that it is not left recursive. Extensive use is made of lazy evaluation, and the parsers constructed “analyze themselves”.

Processing of ICARTT Data Files Using Fuzzy Matching and Parser Combinators [PDF]
In this paper, the task of parsing and matching inconsistent, poorly formed text data through the use of parser combinators and fuzzy matching is discussed.
