Would Someone ELI5 Parser Combinators?

1. Sprache

   1 11 2,436 0.0 C#

   A tiny, friendly, C# parser construction library

   

   Unfortunately I'm struggling. The first problem is choosing which combinator library to go with: Sprache, Superpower, Parlot, Pidgen, Lexepars, etc. etc. Some look simpler to use than others, others more performant, others come with useful parsers built in.

2. InfluxDB

3. Superpower

   2 4 1,221 4.1 C#

   A C# parser construction toolkit with high-quality error reporting

   

   Unfortunately I'm struggling. The first problem is choosing which combinator library to go with: Sprache, Superpower, Parlot, Pidgen, Lexepars, etc. etc. Some look simpler to use than others, others more performant, others come with useful parsers built in.

4. parlot

   3 1 490 7.9 C#

   Fast and lightweight parser creation tools

   

   The 2nd problem is that I can sorta follow the samples, but when it gets to implementing I become utterly confused. Take Parlot for example: I'd like to parse out the drive letter from c:/foo/bar/hello.world, but how? I started implementing a single character parser, but surely that's not right.

5. Pidgin

   4 3 1,019 8.4 C#

   A lightweight and fast parsing library for C#.

   

   Unfortunately I'm struggling. The first problem is choosing which combinator library to go with: Sprache, Superpower, Parlot, Pidgen, Lexepars, etc. etc. Some look simpler to use than others, others more performant, others come with useful parsers built in.

6. Lexepars

   5 1 11 3.2 C#

   Concise monadic parser combinator library with separate lexer/parser phases, off-side rule and big-size input support.
