# Pickle 🥒

A parser combinator library for Gleam that supports all targets.

Pickle's API does heavily rely on pipelines, thus you can create powerful parsers by chaining multiple parsers together
with the pipe operator. This is a stark contrast to other parser combinator libraries for Gleam, which are often built
around the use expression.

Pickle enables scannerless recursive descent parsing, but this applies to almost every other parser combinator library.

## Demo 🥒

```gleam
import gleam/io
import gleam/string
import pickle.{type Parser}

type Point {
  Point(x: Int, y: Int)
}

fn new_point() -> Point {
  Point(0, 0)
}

fn point_parser() -> Parser(Point, Point, String) {
  pickle.string("(", pickle.drop)
  |> pickle.then(pickle.integer(fn(point, x) { Point(..point, x: x) }))
  |> pickle.then(pickle.string(",", pickle.drop))
  |> pickle.then(pickle.integer(fn(point, y) { Point(..point, y: y) }))
  |> pickle.then(pickle.string(")", pickle.drop))
}

pub fn main() {
  let assert Ok(point) =
    pickle.parse("(100,-25)", new_point(), point_parser())

  string.inspect(point) |> io.print() // prints "Point(100, -25)"
}
```
