Data.Attoparsec.Lazy

Description

Simple, efficient combinator parsing for lazy `ByteString` strings, loosely based on the Parsec library.

This is essentially the same code as in the `Attoparsec` module, only with a `parse` function that can consume a lazy `ByteString` incrementally, and a `Result` type that does not allow more input to be fed in. Think of this as suitable for use with a lazily read file, e.g. via `readFile` or `hGetContents`.

Behind the scenes, strict `ByteString` values are still used internally to store parser input and manipulate it efficiently. High-performance parsers such as `string` still expect strict `ByteString` parameters.
