About

A text parser written in the Python language.

The project has one goal, speed! See the benchmark below more details.

Project homepage: https://github.com/eerimoq/textparser

Documentation: http://textparser.readthedocs.org/en/latest

Credits

  • Thanks PyParsing for a user friendly interface. Many of textparser’s class names are taken from this project.

Installation

pip install textparser

Example usage

The Hello World example parses the string Hello, World! and outputs its parse tree ['Hello', ',', 'World', '!'].

The script:

import textparser
from textparser import Sequence


class Parser(textparser.Parser):

    def token_specs(self):
        return [
            ('SKIP',          r'[ \r\n\t]+'),
            ('WORD',          r'\w+'),
            ('EMARK',    '!', r'!'),
            ('COMMA',    ',', r','),
            ('MISMATCH',      r'.')
        ]

    def grammar(self):
        return Sequence('WORD', ',', 'WORD', '!')


tree = Parser().parse('Hello, World!')

print('Tree:', tree)

Script execution:

$ env PYTHONPATH=. python3 examples/hello_world.py
Tree: ['Hello', ',', 'World', '!']

Benchmark

A benchmark comparing the speed of 10 JSON parsers, parsing a 276 kb file.

NOTE 1: The parsers are not necessarily optimized for speed. Optimizing them will likely affect the measurements.

NOTE 2: The structure of the resulting parse trees varies and additional processing may be required to make them fit the user application.

NOTE 3: Only JSON parsers are compared. Parsing other languages may give vastly different results.
