About:
camlp-streams provides the Stream and Genlex modules, which were previously part of the OCaml standard library. These libraries are essential for building lexers and parsers using Camlp4 and Camlp5, offering a functional approach to handling lazy sequences of tokens.
Key Features:
  • Provides Stream and Genlex modules
  • Compatible with Camlp4 and Camlp5
  • Maintains legacy OCaml parsing functionality
  • Decoupled from the core OCaml runtime
Use Cases:
  • Building custom lexers and parsers for DSLs
  • Migrating legacy OCaml code relying on standard library streams
Alternatives:
  • ocamllex/menhir – Standard OCaml tools for generating lexers and parsers, generally preferred for new projects over Camlp5.
