Combine is also nice to use and actively developed.

Hey Rustaceans! Got an easy question? Ask here (9/2022)!
https://crates.io/crates/combine is a decent alternative to Nom. I found it much easier to pick up. I was using it to implement our generalized placeholder syntax in SQLx (which I hope to actually finish at some point): https://github.com/launchbadge/sqlx/blob/a2eda2de2462876a160982e57d73103795e34aa2/sqlx-core/src/placeholders.rs

Chumsky, a parser combinator crate that makes writing error-tolerant parsers with recovery easy and fun!
Nice to see support for error recovery with parser combinators! I never got to the point of adding it in combine as I swapped out my language parser(s) to use LALRPOP instead (implementing error recovery for it instead).

You may want to also look at some of the popular parser combinators like nom and combine. I don't think they do what you are suggesting, though.

Rust is a very nice langage for implementing compilers, and has a nice ecosystem for it (logos, rust-peg, lalrpop, astmaker -- this one is mine --, etc...).

Is there a parsing library (lexer?) which can handle generic tokens?
My peg crate is a parser generator that supports arbitrary token types as input. See https://github.com/kevinmehall/rust-peg/blob/master/tests/run-pass/tokens.rs for an example.

The one rust parser-generator I used is PEG

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (29/2022)!
The two parser generators that I am aware of are lalrpop and PEG. There both great, and have seen some use by languages that have been written in Rust.

Using Nom - a parser combinator library
I wanted to create a parser for Apertium Stream. In 2014, I used Whittle in Ruby. If this year were 2001, I would use Lex/Yacc. Anyway, this year is 2021. I wanted to create this parser in Rust. I tried to find what is similar to Lex/Yacc. I found Rust-Peg. I found a link to Nom from Rust-Peg's document. My first impression was Nom example is easy to read. At least, its document claimed Nom is fast.

The peg crate has a resolved issue about this.

Rust is the second most used language for Advent of Code, after Python
I don't really know that much about parsing and grammars, other than what I've learned about regular languages and expressions and context-free languages in a standard Theory of Comp course from my university. I basically just learned peg by reading the Wikipedia article on PEGs, reading the crate documentation to understand the syntax, and then looking at some of the peg examples on their GitHub to understand how it works in practice.
