Inspired by discussion on the Ur/Web mailing list circa July 2014 but built around more efficient string pointer passing (where possible) rather than lists of characters.
I was working on a library of parser combinators for Ur/Web since my own manual recursive descent things were evolving into something like that anyway. I also considered retargeting mlyacc or menhir to emit Ur/Web code, but this seemed like the easiest approach.
The blob support still needs to be developed, some things need to be cleaned up, and the API will certainly have breaking changes without notice. As the API stabilizes, documentation including performance information should appear.
See the examples in demos/ for ideas on using this library in your
own application.
What's here should be considered alpha quality at best. Patches thoughtfully considered.

whole-program compilation as performed by urweb.
