## hs-scanner-0.2 – incremental combinator parsing for bytestrings

## Description

    scanner is a fast non-backtracking incremental combinator parsing
    library for bytestrings.
    It is often convenient to use backtracking to parse some sophisticated
    input. Unfortunately it kills performance, so usually you should
    avoid backtracking.
    Often (actually always, but it could be too hard sometimes) you can
    implement your parser without any backtracking. It that case all
    the bookkeeping usual parser combinators do becomes unnecessary.
    The scanner library is designed for such cases. It is often 2 times
    faster than attoparsec.
