Single header Parser Combinators for C

Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

This article reviews CParseC, a single-header library for parsing in C using combinators inspired by Haskell's Parsec. It highlights features like composable parsers in plain C99, a header-only design with no dependencies, zero-copy parsing, inlining-friendly macros, and SIMD variants, plus a demo CSV parser and benchmark notes comparing performance to other CSV parsers. The piece also outlines the API and discusses advantages over handwritten parsers and traditional parser generators.
