Enum ParsedItem 

pub enum ParsedItem<'a> {
    Entry(Entry<'a>),
    String(&'a str, Value<'a>),
    Preamble(Value<'a>),
    Comment(&'a str),
}

A raw parsed item from a BibTeX file before processing

This represents the different types of items that can appear in a BibTeX file, returned by the low-level parse_bibtex() function. These items are in their raw parsed form:

• String variables are not yet expanded
• Field values preserve concatenation structure
• Comments are preserved exactly as found
• All items maintain their original order

Examples

use bibtex_parser::parser::{parse_bibtex, ParsedItem};

let input = "@string{name = \"John\"}\n@article{key, author = name}";
let items = parse_bibtex(input)?;

match &items[0] {
    ParsedItem::String(var_name, value) => {
        println!("String variable: {} = {:?}", var_name, value);
    },
    _ => {}
}

match &items[1] {
    ParsedItem::Entry(entry) => {
        // The author field contains a variable reference, not the expanded value
        println!("Entry key: {}", entry.key());
    },
    _ => {}
}

Variants

Entry(Entry<'a>)

A bibliography entry (article, book, inproceedings, etc.)

Contains the entry in its raw parsed form with field values that may reference string variables or contain concatenations.

String(&'a str, Value<'a>)

A string definition (@string{name = value})

Contains the variable name and its value. The value itself may contain references to other string variables or concatenations.

Preamble(Value<'a>)

A preamble (@preamble{value})

Contains the preamble value, which may reference string variables or contain concatenations.

Comment(&'a str)

A comment (both % line comment and @comment{...})

Contains the raw comment text exactly as it appears in the source, including any whitespace and formatting.

Trait Implementations

impl<'a> Clone for ParsedItem<'a>

fn clone(&self) -> ParsedItem<'a>

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl<'a> Debug for ParsedItem<'a>

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'a> PartialEq for ParsedItem<'a>

fn eq(&self, other: &ParsedItem<'a>) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
