Add this to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
nrparser = "0.1"
Then:
use nrparser::inrc1;
use nrparser::kaho;
// Parse an instance from The International Nurse Rostering Competition
let inrc1_instance = inrc1::parse("inrc1_path");
// Parse an instance from the KAHO dataset
let kaho_instance = kaho::parse("kaho_path");
