php_rs_parser/
lib.rs

1//! Fast, fault-tolerant PHP parser that produces a fully typed AST.
2//!
3//! This crate parses PHP source code (PHP 7.4–8.5) into a [`php_ast::Program`]
4//! tree, recovering from syntax errors so that downstream tools always receive
5//! a complete AST.
6//!
7//! # Quick start
8//!
9//! ```
10//! let arena = bumpalo::Bump::new();
11//! let result = php_rs_parser::parse(&arena, "<?php echo 'hello';");
12//! assert!(result.errors.is_empty());
13//! ```
14//!
15//! # Version-aware parsing
16//!
17//! Use [`parse_versioned`] to target a specific PHP version. Syntax that
18//! requires a higher version is still parsed into the AST, but a
19//! [`diagnostics::ParseError::VersionTooLow`] diagnostic is emitted.
20//!
21//! ```
22//! let arena = bumpalo::Bump::new();
23//! let result = php_rs_parser::parse_versioned(
24//!     &arena,
25//!     "<?php enum Status { case Active; }",
26//!     php_rs_parser::PhpVersion::Php80,
27//! );
28//! assert!(!result.errors.is_empty()); // enums require PHP 8.1
29//! ```
30//!
31//! # Reusing arenas across re-parses (LSP usage)
32//!
33//! Use [`ParserContext`] to avoid allocator churn when the same document is
34//! re-parsed on every edit. The context owns a `bumpalo::Bump` arena and resets
35//! it in O(1) before each parse, reusing the backing memory once it has grown
36//! to a stable size.
37//!
38//! ```
39//! let mut ctx = php_rs_parser::ParserContext::new();
40//!
41//! let result = ctx.reparse("<?php echo 1;");
42//! assert!(result.errors.is_empty());
43//! drop(result); // must be dropped before the next reparse
44//!
45//! let result = ctx.reparse("<?php echo 2;");
46//! assert!(result.errors.is_empty());
47//! ```

132/// A reusable parse context that keeps a `bumpalo::Bump` arena alive between
133/// re-parses, resetting it (O(1)) instead of dropping and reallocating.
134///
135/// This is the preferred entry point for LSP servers or any tool that parses
136/// the same document repeatedly. Once the arena has grown to accommodate the
137/// largest document seen, subsequent parses reuse the backing memory without
138/// any new allocations.
139///
140/// The Rust lifetime system enforces safety: the returned [`ParseResult`]
141/// borrows from `self`, so the borrow checker prevents calling [`reparse`] or
142/// [`reparse_versioned`] again while the previous result is still alive.
