Let's Nom Nom Some JSON in Rust

Address available to attendees

We missed you this time around!

If you've heard of parser combinators but you're not sure what they are, then this talk is for you!

Jules Guesnon (Software Engineer at Specify) will go through the basics and theory of parsers, characterizing the different theoretical approaches to parsing, and reflecting on some of their limitations.

In the context he sets up, parser combinators can be understood as a direct way of writing parsers. Jules will describe this approach in detail and touch on how it compares to generated parsers. To conclude his talk, he will walk us through a simple "Hello World" parser implementation to understand the basics, and progressively review a JSON parser to show a real world use case.

Join us to learn about the different approaches to parsing and understand parser combinators in detail!
