hledger-parser

parser for hledger journals powered by chumsky

goals

• parse plaintext .journals into structured data to build tools on top

non goals

• re-build hledger in rust

current state

public beta

it's able to parse cheatsheet and my personal ledger (which is quite extensive)

i don't like the api so far, so it will probably change

things i don't like:

• year directive - it is only used for parsing, probably no reason to export it?
• decimal mark directive - same thing
• error messages
• period::interval type definitions
• exporting chrono and rust_decimal types. maybe it's better to define own types?

binary

a small binary comes with this lib that i found helpful during development and testing

it takes path to a .journal file, and outputs parse result or parsing error
