​​NimbleParsec is a simple and fast library for text-based parser #elixir combinators.

Combinators are built during runtime and compiled into multiple clauses with binary matching. This provides the following benefits:

- Performance: since it compiles to binary matching, it leverages many Erlang VM optimizations to generate extremely fast parser code with low memory usage
- Composable: this library does not rely on macros for building and composing parsers, therefore they are fully composable. The only macros are defparsec/3 and defparsecp/3 which emit the compiled clauses with binary matching
- No runtime dependency: after compilation, the generated parser clauses have no runtime dependency on NimbleParsec. This opens up the possibility to compile parsers and do not impose a dependency on users of your library
- No footprints: NimbleParsec only needs to be imported in your modules. There is no need for use NimbleParsec, leaving no footprints on your modules

The goal of this library is to focus on a set of primitives for writing efficient parser combinators. The composition aspect means you should be able to use those primitives to implement higher level combinators.
