It’s been a year since the last release, so I figured it’s time! For those who don’t know Lark, it’s a parsing toolkit made for Python. Lark is already fairly mature, so this new release is mostly comprised of small fixes and updates. The big new feature of this release - text slices - improves performance when parsing sections of strings (or slices of strings), by restricting the parser to the slice range. In essence, parsing <code>TextSlice(s, start, end)</code> is equivalent to parsing <code>s[start:end]</code>, except TextSlice doesn’t make a copy. This is especially useful for scanning large portions of free text for patterns, or when trying to find the beginning of a parseable section within a larger structureless text. (we have plans to add an official scanning API to Lark for these purposes exactly) Comments
