curl-to-php VS tree-sitter-bash

// Generated by curl-to-PHP: http://incarnate.github.io/curl-to-php/ $ch = curl_init();

Just a bonus, if you want something quick and dirty, here's a tool I use to convert curl cmds to PHP.

// Generated by curl-to-PHP: http://incarnate.github.io/curl-to-php/ $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://partner.shopeemobile.com/api/v2/product/update_stock?timestamp=timestamp&shop_id=shop_id&partner_id=partner_id&sign=sign&access_token=access_token');

2) I use the same CURL code to query API's... I feel I'm repeating code and it's not very neat. I use the Curl to PHP tool https://incarnate.github.io/curl-to-php/ so of course I believe there is a better way

Yeah, this is a really odd choice. I find https://incarnate.github.io/curl-to-php/ (found in the footer) way more interesting since it uses PHP's cURL lib

(1) Zulip Chat - https://zulip.com/ - seems to be reasonably popular, but more people should know about it

I’ve been using it for over 5 years now [1], and it’s as good as ever. It’s way faster than any other chat app I’ve used. It has a good UI and conversation model. It has a simple and functional API that lets me curl threads and write blog posts based on them.

(only problem is that I Ctrl-+ in my browser to make the font bigger – I think it’s too dense for most people)

(2) re2c regex to state machine compiler - https://re2c.org

A gem from the 90’s, which people have done a great job maintaining and improving (getting Go and Rust target support in the last few years). I started using it in 2016, and used for a new program a few months ago. I came to the conclusion that it should have been built into C, because C has shitty string processing – and Ken Thompson both invented C AND brought regular languages to computing !!

In comparison, treesitter lexers are very low level, fiddly, and error prone. I recently saw dozens of ad hoc fixes to the tree-sitter-bash lexer, which is unsurprising if you look at the structure of the code (manually crawling through backslashes and braces in C).

https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-bash/blob/master/...

These fixes are definitely appreciated, but I think it indicates a problem with the model itself.

I ran into this issue as well a few weeks ago, there's already a few issues for it: https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-bash/issues/151

All 3 of these are linked to under "Related Tools".

Those projects use a pretty basic tokenizer

Insomnia and Postman use commander.js for their bash parsing which looks like it just splits on space:

https://github.com/tj/commander.js/blob/02a124c7d58dbae2ef11...

and only support a few of curl's options. Curlconverter uses tree-sitter's Bash grammar https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-bash/ and tries to at least correctly discard all of curl's options and any options that curl used to have.
