Fastidious
==========
A python `parsing expression grammar
(PEG) <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsing_expression_grammar>`_ based parser
generator. It is loosely based on https://github.com/PuerkitoBio/pigeon
Usage
=====
From `the calculator example
<https://github.com/lisael/fastidious/blob/master/examples/calculator.py>`_.
To read the example, think regex, except that the OR spells ``/``, that
literal chars are in quotes and that we can reference other rules.
.. code-block:: python
#! /usr/bin/python
from fastidious import Parser
class Calculator(Parser):
# __grammar__ is the PEG definition. Each `rulename <- a rule`
# adds a method `Calculator.rulename()`. This methods tries to
# match the input at current position
__grammar__ = r"""
# the label is ommited. `:expr` is equivalent to `expr:expr`
eval <- :expr EOF {@expr}
# action {on_expr} calls `Calculator.on_expr(self, value, first, rest)`
# on match. `first` and `rest` args are the labeled parts of the rule
term <- first:factor rest:( _ mult_op _ factor )* {on_expr}
# Because the Parser has a method named `on_expr` ("on_" + rulename)
# this method is the implicit action of this rule. We omitted {on_expr}
expr <- _ first:term rest:( _ add_op _ term )* _
# there's no explicit or implicit action. These rules return their exact
# matches
add_op <- '+' / '-'
mult_op <- '*' / '/'
# action {@fact} means : return only the match of part labeled `fact`.
factor <- ( '(' fact:expr ')' ) / fact:integer {@fact}
integer <- '-'? [0-9]+
_ <- [ \n\t\r]*
# this one is tricky. `.` means "any char". At EOF there's no char,
# thus Not any char, thus `!.`
EOF <- !.
"""
def on_expr(self, value, first, rest):
result = first
for r in rest:
op = r[1]
if op == '+':
result += r[3]
elif op == '-':
result -= r[3]
elif op == '*':
result *= r[3]
else:
result /= r[3]
return result
def on_integer(self, value):
return int(self.p_flatten(value))
if __name__ == "__main__":
import sys
c = Calculator("".join(sys.argv[1:]))
result = c.eval()
# because eval is the first rule defined in the grammar, it's the default rule.
# We could call the classmethod `p_parse`:
# result = Calculator.p_parse("".join(sys.argv[1:]))
# The default entry point can be overriden setting the class attribute
# `__default__`
print(result)
Then you have a full-fledge state-of-the-art integer only calculator \o/
.. code-block:: sh
examples/calculator.py "-21 * ( 3 + 1 ) / -2"

Inheritance
+++++++++++
A parser can inherit rules. Here's an example from fastidious tests:
.. code-block:: python
class Parent(Parser):
__grammar__ = r"""
some_as <- 'a'+
"""
class Child(Parent):
__grammar__ = r"""
letters <- some_as some_bs EOF {p_flatten}
some_bs <- 'b'+
EOF <- !.
"""
assert(Child.p_parse("aabb") == "aabb")
Here, ``Child`` has inherited the method the rule ``some_as``.
Rules can also be overridden in child parsers.
Note that there's no overhead in inheritance at parsing as the rules from the parent
are copied into the child.
Contrib
-------
I plan to add a set of reusable rules in ``fastidious.contrib`` to compose your
parsers.
At the moment, there's only URLParser, that provides a rule that match URLs and
outputs an ``urlparse.ParseResult`` on match.
Please send a pull request if you made an interesting piece of code :)
PEG Syntax
==========
The whole syntax is formally defined in `fastidious parser class
<https://github.com/lisael/fastidious/blob/master/fastidious/parser.py>`_, using
the PEG syntax (which is actually used to generate the fastidious parser itself,
so it's THE TRUTH. Yes, I like meta-stuff). What follows is an informal and
rather incomplete description of this syntax.
Identifiers, whitespace, comments and literals follow a subset of python
notation:
.. code-block::
# a comment
'a string literal'
"a more \"complex\" one with a litteral '\\' \nand a second line"
_aN_iden7ifi3r
Identifiers MUST be valid python identifiers as they are added as methods on the
parser objects. Parsers have utility methods that are prefixed by `p_` and
`_p_`. Please avoid these names.
Rules
+++++
A PEG grammar consists of a set of rules. A rule is an identifier followed by a
rule definition operator ``<-`` and an expression. An optional display name - a
string literal used in error messages instead of the rule identifier - can be
specified after the rule identifier. An action can also be specified enclosed in
``{}`` after the rule, more on this later.
.. code-block::
rule_a "friendly name" <- 'a'+ {an_action} # one or more lowercase 'a's
Actions
+++++++
Actions are a way to alter the output of a rule. Without actions the rules emit
strings, lists of strings, or a list of lists and strings.
Action are useful to control the output. One could for example instantiate AST
nodes, or, as we do in the JSON example, our result string, lists and dicts.
Actions can also be used to reduce the result as the input is parsed, that's
exactly what we do in the calculator example in the method ``on_expr``.
There are two kind of actions: labels and methods
Label action
------------
If an expression has a label, you can use it as the return value. In the calculator,
we use::
factor <- ( '(' fact:expr ')' ) / fact:integer {@fact}
Here, ``@fact`` means 'return the part labeled ``fact``' which is an integer literal
or the result of an ``expr`` enclosed in parentheses, depending on the branch that
matches.
All the rest (e.g the parentheses) of the match is never output and is lost.
Method action
-------------
Method actions are methods on the parser. In the calculator, there's::
term <- first:factor rest:( _ mult_op _ factor )* {on_expr}
This means that on match, the method of the parser named ``on_expr`` is called
with one positional argument: ``value`` and two keyword arguments: ``first`` and
``rest`` named after the labels in the expression.
``value`` is the full value of the match, something like::
[ 2 [ " ", "*", "", 3]]
``first`` would be ``2`` and ``rest`` would be ``[ " ", "*", "", 3]``.
I hope the indices of ``r`` in this method make sense, now:
.. code-block:: python
def on_expr(self, value, first, rest):
result = first
for r in rest:
op = r[1]
if op == '+':
result += r[3]
elif op == '-':
result -= r[3]
elif op == '*':
result *= r[3]
else:
result /= r[3]
return result
Note that even though the rule ``_`` has the Kleen star ``*`` it will at least
return an empty string, so ``rest`` is guaranteed to be a 4 elements list.
Because of its name, ``on_expr`` is also the implicit action of the rule ``expr``.
This can of course be overridden by adding an explicit action on the rule
Builtin method actions
......................
At the moment, there's one builtin action ``{{p_flatten}}`` that recursively
concatenates a list of lists and strings::
["a", ["b", ["c", "d"], "e"], "fg"] => "abcdefg"
Expressions
+++++++++++
A rule is defined by an expression. The following sections describe the various
expression types. Expressions can be grouped by using parentheses, and a rule
can be referenced by its identifier in place of an expression.
Choice expression
-----------------
The choice expression is a list of expressions that will be tested in the order
they are defined. The first one that matches will be used. Expressions are
separated by the forward slash character "/". E.g.:
.. code-block::
choice_expr <- A / B / C # A, B and C should be rules declared in the grammar
Because the first match is used, it is important to think about the order of
expressions. For example, in this rule, "<=" would never be used because the "<"
expression comes first:
.. code-block::
bad_choice_expr <- "<" / "<="
Sequence expression
-------------------
The sequence expression is a list of expressions that must all match in that
same order for the sequence expression to be considered a match. Expressions are
separated by whitespace. E.g.:
.. code-block::
seq_expr <- "A" "b" "c" # matches "Abc", but not "Acb"
Labeled expression
------------------
A labeled expression consists of an identifier followed by a colon ":" and an
expression. A labeled expression introduces a variable named with the label that
can be referenced in the action of the rule. The variable will have the value of
the expression that follows the colon. E.g.:
.. code-block::
labeled_expr <- value:[a-z]+ "a suffix" {@value}
If this sequence matches, the rule returns only the ``[a-z]+`` part instead of
``["thevalue", "a suffix"]``
And and not expressions
-----------------------
An expression prefixed with the exclamation point ``!`` is the "not" predicate
expression: it is considered a match if the following expression is not a
match, but it does not consume any input.
An expression prefixed with the ampersand ``&`` is the "and" predicate
expression: it is considered a match if the following expression is a match,
but it does not consume any input.
``&`` doesn't exist in pure PEG grammar theory, and is sugar for ``!!``
.. code-block::
not_expr <- "A" !"B" # matches "A" if not followed by a "B" (does not consume "B")
and_expr <- "A" &"B" # matches "A" if followed by a "B" (does not consume "B")
Repeating expressions
---------------------
An expression followed by "*", "?" or "+" is a match if the expression occurs
zero or more times ("*"), zero or one time "?" or one or more times ("+")
respectively. The match is greedy, it will match as many times as possible.
E.g::
zero_or_more_as <- "A"*
Literal matcher
---------------
A literal matcher tries to match the input against a single character or a
string literal. The literal may be a single-quoted or double-quoted string.
The same rules as Python apply regarding allowed characters and escaping.
The literal may be followed by a lowercase ``i`` (outside the ending quote)
to indicate that the match is case-insensitive. E.g.::
literal_match <- "Awesome\n"i # matches "awesome" followed by a newline
Character class matcher
-----------------------
A character class matcher tries to match the input against a class of
characters inside square brackets ``[...]``. Inside the brackets, characters
represent themselves and the same escapes as in string literals are available,
except that the single- and double-quote escape is not valid, instead the
closing square bracket ``]`` must be escaped to be used.
Character ranges can be specified using the ``[a-z]`` notation. Unicode chars are
not supported yet.
As for string literals, a lowercase ``i`` may follow the matcher (outside the
ending square bracket) to indicate that the match is case-insensitive. A ``^`` as
first character inside the square brackets indicates that the match is inverted
(it is a match if the input does not match the character class matcher). E.g.::
not_az <- [^a-z]i
Any matcher
-----------
The any matcher is represented by the dot ``.``. It matches any character except
the end of file, thus the ``!.`` expression is used to indicate "match the end of
file". E.g.::
any_char <- . # match a single character
EOF <- !.
Regex matcher
-------------
Although not in the formal definition of PEG parsers, regex may be handy (OR NOT!)
and may provide substantial performance improvements. A regex expression is
defined in a single- or double-quoted string prefixed by a ``~``.
Flags "iLmsux" as described in python ``re`` module can follow the pattern. E.g.::
re_match <- ~"https?://[\\S:@/]*"i # DON'T TRY THIS ONE, it's just a silly example
Error reporting
===============
PEG parsers design makes automatic syntax error reporting hard. The parser has
to follow every possible path from the root and fail to parse the document before
it can tell there's a syntax error. It's even harder to tell where is the error,
because at this point, we only know that every path has fail.
However this paper http://arxiv.org/pdf/1405.6646v1.pdf suggest a bunch of
techniques to improve syntax error detection, we implemented some of them and, by
experience, it's satisfying (i.e: I can debug my errors using fastidious messages).
