Too Long; Didn't Read
In <a href="https://www.mmhaskell.com/blog/2018/2/19/applicative-parsing-ii-putting-the-pieces-together" target="_blank">last week’s article</a> we completed our look at the <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/regex-applicative" target="_blank">Applicative Parsing</a> library. We took all our smaller combinators and put them together to parse our Gherkin syntax. This week, we’ll look at a new library: <a href="https://hackage.haskell.org/package/attoparsec" target="_blank">Attoparsec</a>. Instead of trying to do everything using a purely applicative structure, this library uses a monadic approach. This approach is much more common. It results in syntax that is simpler to read and understand. It will also make it easier for us to add certain features.
