Introduction

Astray is a framework for building type safe parsing functions from Rust type definitions. It helps you do this with ease and correction.

This doc book is (or hopes to be) a repository for all Astray features and rules. It is, like the rest of the project, a work in progress.

Please check out the wishlist for small breakdown of what has not been implemented so far.

Main goals

Besides fullfilling its purpose as a parsing framework, Astray has a few non-functional goals:

• Correctness and type safety over performance (though performance improvements are welcome)
• Extensive and prolific use of the Rust type system
• Thorough and beginner friendly documentation

Contributing

No rules so far, just open an issue and we'll talk about it. Eventually, contributing rules will be made available here

Have fun and let me know if something in the book isn't quite right!
