Description : automated conversions between OCaml-values and S-expressions
Sexplib library contains functionality for parsing and pretty-printing
S-expressions.
.
Sexplib also contains a preprocessing module for Camlp4, which can be
used to automatically generate code from type definitions for
efficiently converting OCaml-values to S-expressions and vice versa.
In combination with the parsing and pretty-printing functionality this
frees users from having to write their own I/O-routines for the
datastructures they define. Possible errors during automatic
conversions from S-expressions to OCaml-values are reported in a very
human-readable way.
.
Another module contained in Sexplib you to extract and replace
sub-expressions in S-expressions.
The package is being worked on at
git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-ocaml-maint/packages/sexplib310.git
(already writable to debian-ocaml-maint contributors; help is welcome
from them as well as from anyone interested).
Sexplib is a dependency for Core (see ITP #479152).
