Parser for the edn format. In PHP.

The parser internally relies on Phlexy for lexing.

Usage

Parsing

To parse edn, just use the parse function:

$edn = file_get_contents('examples/sample.edn');
$data = igorw\edn\parse($edn);

print_r($data);

You can also define custom tag handlers and pass them as a second argument to parse:

use igorw\edn;

class Person {
    public $firstName;
    public $lastName;

    function __construct($firstName, $lastName) {
        $this->firstName = $firstName;
        $this->lastName = $lastName;
    }
}

$edn = '#myapp/Person {:first "Fred" :last "Mertz"}';

$data = edn\parse($edn, [
    'myapp/Person' => function ($node) {
        return new Person(
            $node[edn\keyword('first')],
            $node[edn\keyword('last')]
        );
    },
]);

// [new Person('Fred', 'Mertz')]

Encoding

If you want to take an in-memory data structure and encode it as edn, you can use the encode function:

use igorw\edn;

$person = new edn\Map();
$person[edn\keyword('name')] = 'igorw';

$list = new edn\LinkedList([
    edn\symbol('foo'),
    edn\symbol('bar'),
    edn\symbol('baz'),
    edn\keyword('qux'),
    1.0,
    $person,
]);

$edn = edn\encode([$list]);
// (foo bar baz :qux 1.0 {:name "igorw"})

Tests

This library runs against the shaunxcode/edn-tests suite.
