Module stream

Traits and implementations of arbitrary data streams.

Streams are similar to the Iterator trait in that they represent some sequential set of items which can be retrieved one by one. Where Streams differ is that they are allowed to return errors instead of just None and if they implement the RangeStreamOnce trait they are also capable of returning multiple items at the same time, usually in the form of a slice.

In addition to he functionality above, a proper Stream usable by a Parser must also have a position (marked by the Positioned trait) and must also be resetable (marked by the Resetable trait). The former is used to ensure that errors at different points in the stream aren’t combined and the latter is used in parsers such as or to try multiple alternative parses.

Modules

• buffered
• easy
  Stream wrapper which provides an informative and easy to use error type.
• state
  Stateful stream wrappers.

Structs

• IteratorStream
  Wrapper around iterators which allows them to be treated as a stream. Returned by from_iter.
• PartialStream
  Stream type which indicates that the stream is partial if end of input is reached
• PointerOffset
  Newtype around a pointer offset into a slice stream (&[T]/&str).
• ReadStream
• SliceStream
  Newtype for constructing a stream from a slice where the items in the slice are not copyable.

Traits

• FullRangeStream
  A RangeStream which is capable of providing it’s entire range.
• Positioned
  A type which has a position.
• Range
  Trait representing a range of elements.
• RangeStream
  A RangeStream is an extension of Stream which allows for zero copy parsing.
• RangeStreamOnce
  A RangeStream is an extension of StreamOnce which allows for zero copy parsing.
• Resetable
• Stream
  A stream of tokens which can be duplicated
• StreamOnce
  StreamOnce represents a sequence of items that can be extracted one by one.

Functions

• decode
  Decodes input using parser.
• uncons
• uncons_range
• uncons_while
  Removes items from the input while predicate returns true.
• uncons_while1
  Takes items from stream, testing each one with predicate returns a range of at least one items which passed predicate.

Type Aliases

• StreamErrorFor
  Convenience alias over the StreamError for the input stream I
