Yap is a small, well documented, dependency free library to help you parse strings and slices by extending the Iterator trait with a bunch of parser-combinator style methods. It tries to keep out of the way, and gives you everything you need to return detailed errors at every step.
A small, zero-dependency library that can be used to build and evaluate mini-languages in the browser or in NodeJS. You have complete control over every operation performed, and this library takes care of the nitty gritty of the parsing and such.
A small CLI router that can merge several HTTP and file endpoints behind a single host/port under different paths. Built to enable quick hacking together of client files and APIs during development.
