Introduction
+
+
+ Parser combinators are a powerful technique for building parsers by composing smaller parsing functions.
+ They provide a clean, modular approach to parsing that aligns well with functional programming principles.
+ In this blog post, we'll explore Dafny's standard parser combinators library and demonstrate how to use it
+ to build a formatter for S-expressions (symbolic expressions), which are the foundation of languages like LISP.
+ We'll include an interactive JavaScript demo that you can use to experiment with the formatter directly in your
+ browser.
+
+
+
Parser Builders DSL in Dafny
+
+
+ Parser combinators are higher-order functions that accept parsers as input and return new parsers as output.
+ This approach allows you to build complex parsers by combining simpler ones. Dafny's standard library provides
+ a concise Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for building parsers that uses minimal syntax to make complex parser
+ definitions more readable.
+
+
+
+ To use the parser builders DSL in Dafny, you need to import:
+
+
+
import opened Std.Parsers.StringBuilders
+
+
+ This gives you access to a set of short, expressive combinators that reduce syntactic noise and highlight the parser
+ logic.
+ Some of the most commonly used combinators in this DSL include:
+
+
+
+
S: Creates a parser that matches a specific string
+
CharTest: Creates a parser that succeeds if the input character satisfies a given predicate
+
Rep: Applies a parser zero or more times
+
Rep1: Applies a parser one or more times (at least once)
+
O: Tries each parser in sequence until one succeeds (Or)
+
I_I: Concatenates two parsers, keeping both results (Concat)
+
e_I: Concatenates two parsers, discarding the left result
+
I_e: Concatenates two parsers, discarding the right result
+
M: Transforms the result of a parser (Map)
+
Rec: Creates a recursive parser
+
+
+
Interactive Parser Examples
+
+
+ Before diving into the full S-expression parser, let's explore some basic parser components and see how they work
+ individually.
+ Each example below includes an interactive demo where you can test the parser with your own input.
+
+
+
Basic Parsers
+
+
+ Let's start with some of the simplest parsers:
+
+
+
Whitespace Parser (WS)
+
+
+ The WS parser matches zero or more whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, newlines).
+
+
+
const WSParser := WS
+
+
+
Try it: Enter some text with whitespace (the parser will match the whitespace at the beginning)
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Parsed:
+ Remaining:
+
+
+
+
+
String Parser (S)
+
+
+ The S parser matches a specific string.
+
+
+
const HelloParser := S("Hello")
+
+
+
Try it: Enter text that starts with "Hello"
+
+
+
+
+
+ Parsed:
+ Remaining:
+
+
+
+
+
Concatenation (I_I, I_e, e_I)
+
+
+ The concatenation operators combine parsers in sequence:
+
Try it: Enter "Hello " to see the different concatenation results
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Parsed:
+ Remaining:
+
+
+
+
+
Repetition (Rep, Rep1)
+
+
+ The repetition operators apply a parser multiple times:
+
+
+
Rep: Applies a parser zero or more times
+
Rep1: Applies a parser one or more times (at least once)
+
+
+
// Match zero or more digits
+const Digits := CharTest(c => '0' <= c <= '9', "digit").Rep()
+
+// Match one or more digits
+const Digits1 := CharTest(c => '0' <= c <= '9', "digit").Rep1()
+
+
+
Try it: Enter some digits (or not) to see how Rep and Rep1 differ
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Parsed:
+ Remaining:
+
+
+
+
+
Choice (O)
+
+
+ The O operator tries each parser in sequence until one succeeds.
+
+
+
// Match either "Hello" or "Hi"
+const Greeting := O([S("Hello"), S("Hi")])
+
+
+
Try it: Enter "Hello" or "Hi" to see the choice parser in action
+
+
+
+
+
+ Parsed:
+ Remaining:
+
+
+
+
+
S-Expressions
+
+
+ Now that we understand the basic parsers, let's see how we can combine them to build a more complex parser.
+ We'll create a parser for S-expressions, which will demonstrate how the individual parser components we've explored
+ can work together to handle a recursive, nested structure.
+
+
+
+ S-expressions (symbolic expressions) are a notation for representing nested data structures, originally used in the
+ LISP programming language.
+ They have a simple syntax: an S-expression is either an atom (like a symbol or number) or a list of S-expressions
+ enclosed in parentheses.
+ Here's a simple example of an S-expression:
+
+
+
(define (factorial n)
+ (if (= n 0)
+ 1
+ (* n (factorial (- n 1)))))
+
+
+ In this blog post, we'll build a parser and formatter for S-expressions, including:
+
+
+
+
Atoms (identifiers like factorial, n)
+
Numbers (integers like 0, 1)
+
Lists (like (define (factorial n) ...))
+
+
+
Building an S-Expression Parser
+
+
+ Let's look at how we can build an S-expression parser using Dafny's parser combinators. The parser will handle both
+ atoms and nested expressions.
+
+
+
+ First, we'll define our data structure for S-expressions:
+
+ Now, let's define the main parser for S-expressions. This is where the power of parser combinators really shines:
+
+
+
// Parse an S-expression
+ const parserSExpr :=
+ Rec((SExpr: B<SExpr>) =>
+ O([
+ // Either a list: (expr1 expr2 ...)
+ S("(").e_I(WSOrComment).Then(
+ (r: string) =>
+ SExpr.I_e(WSOrComment)
+ .Rep().I_e(S(")")).I_e(WSOrComment)
+ ).M((r: seq<SExpr>) => List(r)),
+
+ // Or an atom: symbol
+ CharTest((c: char) => c != '(' && c != ')' && !isWhitespace(c), "atom character")
+ .Rep1().M((r: string) => Atom(r)).I_e(WSOrComment)
+ ])
+ )
+
+
+ This parser uses the Rec combinator to create a recursive parser that can handle nested expressions.
+ The parser first tries to match a list (expressions enclosed in parentheses) and if that fails, it tries to match an
+ atom.
+
+
+
+ We can also add a method to format S-expressions nicely:
+
+
+
function ToString(expr: SExpr, indent: string := ""): string {
+ match expr {
+ case Atom(name) => name
+ case List(items) =>
+ if |items| == 0 then
+ "()"
+ else
+ "(" +
+ String.Join(
+ seq(|items|, i requires 0 <= i < |items| =>
+ if i == 0 then ToString(items[i], indent + " ")
+ else "\n" + indent + " " + ToString(items[i], indent + " ")
+ ),
+ ""
+ ) + ")"
+ }
+ }
+
+
+ The formatting function above uses a recursive approach to pretty-print S-expressions. Here's how it works:
+
+
+
+
For atoms, it simply returns the name of the atom.
+
For empty lists, it returns "()".
+
For non-empty lists, it formats the first item on the same line as the opening parenthesis, and each subsequent
+ item on a new line with proper indentation.
+
The indentation increases by two spaces for each level of nesting, making the structure clear and readable.
+
The function uses Dafny's sequence comprehension to build the formatted string for each item in the list.
+
+
+
+ This formatting approach is particularly useful for complex, nested S-expressions, as it makes the structure visually
+ apparent.
+
+
+
+ Finally, we can add a test method to verify our parser works correctly:
+
+
+
method TestParser() {
+ var input := "(define (factorial n) (if (= n 0) 1 (* n (factorial (- n 1)))))";
+ var result := parserSExpr.Apply(input);
+
+ match result {
+ case ParseSuccess(value, _) =>
+ print "Parsed successfully: ", ToString(value), "\n";
+ case ParseFailure(error, _) =>
+ print "Parse error: ", error, "\n";
+ }
+ }
+
+
Interactive Demo
+
+
+ Below is an interactive demo where you can enter S-expressions and see them parsed and formatted:
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
Formatted output will appear here
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
Conclusion
+
+
+ In this blog post, we've introduced Dafny's parser combinators library and demonstrated how to use it to build
+ a parser and formatter for S-expressions. We've also shown how to compile Dafny code to JavaScript and integrate
+ it into a web page to create an interactive demo.
+
+
+
+ Parser combinators provide a powerful, modular approach to parsing that aligns well with functional programming
+ principles.
+ By using Dafny's standard library, you can leverage these techniques in your own projects, whether you're targeting
+ JavaScript, C#, or other supported platforms.

Interactive Parser Examples
Each example below includes an interactive demo where you can test the parser with your own input.
-
Basic Parsers
+
Building Parsers Step by Step
- Let's start with some of the simplest parsers:
+ Let's build up to the S-expression parser by starting with the most fundamental building blocks and gradually combining them into more complex parsers.
-
Whitespace Parser (WS)
+
Character Testing (CharTest)
- The WS parser matches zero or more whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, newlines).
+ The CharTest combinator is the foundation of most parsers. It takes a predicate function and succeeds if the next character satisfies that condition. Let's start with something fun - parsing emoji!
Try it: Enter some digits followed by other characters
+
-
- Parsed:Parse
+ Parsed:
- Remaining:Remaining:
-
Concatenation (I_I, I_e, e_I)
+
Whitespace Parser (WS)
- The concatenation operators combine parsers in sequence:
+ Now we can understand how the built-in WS parser works - it's actually defined using CharTest and Rep:
// WS is roughly equivalent to:
+// CharTest(c => c == ' ' || c == '\t' || c == '\n' || c == '\r', "whitespace").Rep()
+const WSParser := WS
-
Try it: Enter "Hello " to see the different concatenation results
-
+
Try it: Enter some text with whitespace at the beginning
+
-
-

Rep: Applies a parser zero or more times

I_e: Keeps only the left result

// Parse "(" followed by an identifier - the start of an S-expression!

const AngerParser := CharTest(c => c == '😠' || c == '😡' || c == '🤬' || c == '😤', "Angry Smily")
+ From basic character tests like CharTest(c => c == '😠', "Angry Smily"), we built a complete S-expression parser using simple combinators:
+
+
+
+
Rep() for repetition
+
M() for transformation
+
O([]) for choice
+
I_I, e_I, I_e for concatenation
+
Rec() for recursion
+
- In this blog post, we've introduced Dafny's parser combinators library and demonstrated how to use it to build
- a parser and formatter for S-expressions. We've also shown how to compile Dafny code to JavaScript and integrate
- it into a web page to create an interactive demo.
+ 207 lines of verified, composable code that parses, recognizes patterns, and formats beautifully. This is parser combinators: turning parsing from an arcane art into a compositional science.
- Parser combinators provide a powerful, modular approach to parsing that aligns well with functional programming
- principles.
- By using Dafny's standard library, you can leverage these techniques in your own projects, whether you're targeting
- JavaScript, C#, or other supported platforms.
+ Best of all, Dafny compiles to JavaScript, C#, Java, and Rust - so your parser combinators work across platforms with the same verified code.
- For more information on Dafny's standard libraries, including the parser combinators library, check out the
- Dafny Standard Libraries
- repository.
+ Start with CharTest, add some combinators, and see where composition takes you. Explore more in the Dafny Standard Libraries.

-
Parser Combinators: Building Complex from Simple
-
-
- Parser combinators are higher-order functions that accept parsers as input and return new parsers as output.
- This approach allows you to build complex parsers by combining simpler ones. Dafny's standard library provides
- a concise Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for building parsers that uses minimal syntax to make complex parser
- definitions more readable.
-
+
The Building Blocks
- To use the parser builders DSL in Dafny, you need to import:
+ Parser combinators are higher-order functions that build
+ complex parsers from simple ones. Each parser returns a ParseResult
+ with either the parsed value and remaining input, or an error. Let's see how they work:
import opened Std.Parsers.StringBuilders
-
- This gives you access to a set of short, expressive combinators that reduce syntactic noise and highlight the parser
- logic. Let's see how these simple pieces combine to create the powerful formatter above.
-
-
-
-
The Building Blocks
-
-
- Let's explore the fundamental parser components that make the S-expression formatter possible. Each parser has an
- Apply method that takes an input string and returns a ParseResult:
-
- When a parser succeeds, it returns the parsed value and the remaining unconsumed characters. When it fails, it returns
- an error message and the position where parsing failed. Each example below includes an interactive demo where you can
- experiment with the parser.
+ Let's say we want to create a parser that parses one angry smiley. Without combinators, we'd write something like
+ this:
- The CharTest combinator is the foundation of most parsers. It takes a predicate function and succeeds if
- the next character satisfies that condition. Let's start with something fun - parsing anger characters!
+ That's verbose and error-prone! The CharTest combinator makes this much cleaner by taking a predicate
+ function and handling all the boilerplate:
- For educational purposes, here's what the above parser looks like in its verbose, low-level form. We don't introduce this verbose syntax as we have combinators that wrap these lambdas so that it's easier to compose them:
-
+ Notice how the combinator approach also generates nice error messages automatically! Try the last two examples above -
+ when parsing fails, you get clear feedback about what was expected. This is another advantage of combinators: they
+ handle both success and failure cases elegantly.

Why Parser Combinators Matter

- Now we have all the building blocks! We can parse:
+ The Rec combinator makes it possible to create recursive parsers - parsers that can call themselves. Let's create a
+ fun example: parsing balanced payments where you will get exactly one apple A after each coin $ you find, but before

+ Notice how Rec allows the parser to call itself! The BalancedPayment parser can contain another
+ BalancedPayment, creating nested structures. This is exactly how parentheses work in programming languages - each
+ opening parenthesis must have a matching closing one.
+
+
+
+ Important: Since Dafny programs must terminate, Rec includes built-in protection against
+ infinite recursion. If a recursive parser made no progress (doesn't consume any input), Dafny will return a parse error.
