Rust 解析器组合器框架
nom is a parser combinators library written in Rust. Its goal is to provide tools to build safe parsers without compromising the speed or memory consumption. To that end, it uses extensively Rust's strong typing and memory safety to produce fast and correct parsers, and provides functions, macros and traits to abstract most of the error prone plumbing.
nom will happily take a byte out of your files :)

If you need any help developing your parsers, please ping geal on IRC (Libera, Geeknode, OFTC), go to #nom-parsers on Libera IRC, or on the Gitter chat room.

nom was designed to properly parse binary formats from the beginning. Compared to the usual handwritten C parsers, nom parsers are just as fast, free from buffer overflow vulnerabilities, and handle common patterns for you:
Example projects:
While nom was made for binary format at first, it soon grew to work just as well with text formats. From line based formats like CSV, to more complex, nested formats such as JSON, nom can manage it, and provides you with useful tools:
Example projects:
While programming language parsers are usually written manually for more flexibility and performance, nom can be (and has been successfully) used as a prototyping parser for a language.
nom will get you started quickly with powerful custom error types, that you can leverage with nom_locate to pinpoint the exact line and column of the error. No need for separate tokenizing, lexing and parsing phases: nom can automatically handle whitespace parsing, and construct an AST in place.
Example projects:
While a lot of formats (and the code handling them) assume that they can fit the complete data in memory, there are formats for which we only get a part of the data at once, like network formats, or huge files. nom has been designed for a correct behaviour with partial data: If there is not enough data to decide, nom will tell you it needs more instead of silently returning a wrong result. Whether your data comes entirely or in chunks, the result should be the same.
It allows you to build powerful, deterministic state machines for your protocols.
Example projects:
Parser combinators are an approach to parsers that is very different from software like lex and yacc. Instead of writing the grammar in a separate file and generating the corresponding code, you use very small functions with very specific purpose, like "take 5 bytes", or "recognize the word 'HTTP'", and assemble them in meaningful patterns like "recognize 'HTTP', then a space, then a version". The resulting code is small, and looks like the grammar you would have written with other parser approaches.
This has a few advantages:
nom parsers are for:
&[u8] and parsers will work as much as possible on byte array slices (but are not limited to them)Some benchmarks are available on GitHub.
The 8.0 series of nom supports Rustc version 1.65 or greater.
The current policy is that this will only be updated in the next major nom release.
nom is available on crates.io and can be included in your Cargo enabled project like this:
[dependencies]
nom = "8"
There are a few compilation features:
alloc: (activated by default) if disabled, nom can work in no_std builds without memory allocators. If enabled, combinators that allocate (like many0) will be availablestd: (activated by default, activates alloc too) if disabled, nom can work in no_std buildsYou can configure those features like this:
[dependencies.nom]
version = "8"
default-features = false
features = ["alloc"]
