Usage

Basic Parsing

use rico::Parser;

fn main() {
    let input = r#"
        namespace rs demo

        struct User {
            1: string name
            2: i32 age
        }
    "#;

    let mut parser = Parser::new(input);
    match parser.parse() {
        Ok(ast) => println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&ast).unwrap()),
        Err(e) => eprintln!("Error: {}", e),
    }
}
