@carrybible/usfm-parser

usfm-parser (WIP)

A USFM parser for JavaScript (written in TypeScript).

Installation

npm install --save usfm
# or
yarn add usfm

Use

import {UsfmLexer, UsfmParser} from 'usfm'

const parser = new UsfmParser(new UsfmLexer('...USFM string...'))
const ast = parser.parse()

Current Status

This module is still in development and may be incomplete. The current (limiting) goal is to parse the World English Bible (WEB) USFM. Since only a subset of the total USF markers are in use in the World English Bible, this parser is incomplete (not all tags are implemented). However, the parser is uber-simple, which means that if it does not support a marker that you need, you should fork this repo, add the necessary parsing logic, and submit a pull-request.

TODO:

• tests are not implemented

How the parser works

The parser is a Pratt parser. If you want to contribute to this repository, make sure you have read up on Pratt parsing.
