The abstraction for the IFormFile has an .OpenReadStream method. To prevent a ton of undesirable and potentially large allocations, we should read a single line at a time and build up our list from each line that we read. Additionally, we could encapsulate this logic in an extension method. The Index action ends up looking … Read more

What is the difference between LALR and LR parsing? [duplicate]

At a high level, the difference between LR(0), LALR(1), and LR(1) is the following: An LALR(1) parser is an “upgraded” version of an LR(0) parser that keeps track of more precise information to disambiguate the grammar. An LR(1) parser is a significantly more powerful parser that keeps track of even more precise information than an … Read more

Example parsers to learn how to write them [closed]

You should know how to build recursive descent parsers by hand. Here’s an SO link to a quick lesson on how to do this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2336769/120163 If you want to understand how recursive descent parsers can be constructed automatically, you can read a paper (and see a tutorial) on MetaII at this link: https://stackoverflow.com/a/1142034/120163
