Here's our take.

Happy

Nice Pick

Developers should learn Happy when working on projects that involve parsing complex text or language structures in Haskell, such as creating domain-specific languages, compilers, or data format processors

Pros

• It is particularly useful for ensuring correct and efficient parsing without manually writing low-level parser code, saving time and reducing errors in language implementation tasks
• Related to: haskell, parsing

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Attoparsec

Developers should learn Attoparsec when they need to parse binary formats (e

Pros

• g
• Related to: haskell, parser-combinators

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

These tools serve different purposes. Happy is a tool while Attoparsec is a library. We picked Happy based on overall popularity, but your choice depends on what you're building.

The Bottom Line

Happy wins

Based on overall popularity. Happy is more widely used, but Attoparsec excels in its own space.
