###################################### WARNING ###################################

THIS API IS CURRENTLY COMPLETELY "WORK IN PROGRESS" AND SUBJECT TO DAILY CHANGES!!

THE SAMPLE CODE IS USED TO RESEARCH THE API AND WILL BE COMPLETELY REWRITTEN SOON

##################################################################################

Basic construct

Unless specified otherwise, two consecutive members are considered like following each other. If there was a FollowedBy function (which there is not), the following statements would be equivalent:

Text("http").Text("://")
Text("http").FollowedBy.Text("://")

Some statements go by pair and unless specified otherwise, all members must be present:

OpeningStatement
    ..... //Something
.ClosingStatement

The functions

Here are all the functions that SimpleExpressions currently supports:

• Alphanumerics, Letters, Numbers
• One(char/string), OneOf(string)
• Text(string)
• [EitherOf(string)](https://github.com/Timothep/SimpleExpressions/wiki/EitherOf(string)
• Repetitions
• Single-element repetition Exactly(int)/AtLeast(int).AtMost(int)
• Multi-element repetition Repeat.Exactly(int)/AtLeast(int).AtMost(int).Times
• InRange(string)
• Except(string)
• Maybe
• Group.Together.As(string)

Not yet implemented

• Either.Or.Then
• Anything

Functions and ideas

Work in Progress

• -AndWhitespaces
• Word(string)
• StartsWith
• EndOfLine
• Maybe

Ideas

• CaseInsensitive
• EndOfWord
• AsWord
• AsLine
• Greedy

Perform structural checks (dogfed with SimpleExpressions :D ). Due to the dynamic nature of SimpleExpressions, such a check can only happen after the parsing of the tokens has been done.

• Group + Together/As/Together-As
• AtLeast/Exactly/AtLeast-AtMost
• Repeat + AtLeast/AtLeast-AtMost/Exactly + Times
• Character(char) <- parameter check 'x'
• InRange(string) <- parameter format x-y

Other

• Simplify generation of parameters using arrays/collections?

After discusion with Miwi, evaluate:

• Sequence -> Text? @?
• Either-Or(-Then)
• Alphanumeric/Letter/Number, no "s"
• ZeroOrMore
• OneOrMore
• Precedence And > Or
