This project is just an example to examine the functional components of R.
Ramble is now on CRAN:
install.packages("Ramble")
The development version can be installed from github:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("chappers/Ramble")
Create a parser combinator written in pure R. This is mostly a proof of concept, but could be useful or helpful to someone.
This is inspired by Programming in Haskell by Graham Hutton, and also the JavaScript port, and Python's recursive descent parsing library.
References:
You can contribute by opening issues on Github or implementing things yourself and making a pull request.
Please ensure that package passes all checks with --as-cran
flag (i.e. via devtools::check(args = c('--as-cran'))
) before submitting a pull request.
To understand the differences between Ramble and other combinatory parsers please read Ramble: A Parser Combinator in R.
