S-expressions are the human-readable, textual representation of code and data in the Lisp family of languages. lexpr aims to provide the tools to:

• Embed S-expression data into Rust programs using the sexp macro:

  use lexpr::sexp;
  
  let address = sexp!(((name . "Jane Doe") (street . "4026 Poe Lane")));
  

• Construct and destructure S-expression data using a full-featured API:

  use lexpr::Value;
  
  let names = Value::list(vec!["Alice", "Bob", "Mallory"]);
  println!("The bad guy is {}", names[2].as_str().unwrap());
  

• Parse and serialize S-expression data from and to its textual representation.

To get a better idea of the direction lexpr is headed, you may want to take at the TODO or the "why" document.
