Some packages to share...

I’ve created a couple more packages I’m using for some personal projects that I put up on GitHub and thought some here might be able to get some use out of.

QuickDoc: https://github.com/massung/quickdoc

QuickDoc is a text markup similar to Creole (for Wiki) and MarkDown, but has an unambiguous grammar, and so it parses *much* faster than many of the common markdown parsers out there as there’s no need for regular expression look-ahead parsing. It also adds several features that I’ve always wanted in markup documents (meta comments, CSV tables, image alignment, text in horizontal rules, etc).

Huffman encoding: https://github.com/massung/huffman

Can pretty much encode (and decode) any sequence of things. I still want to add serialization of the encoding map, but it’s currently quite simple and efficient. I also want to add the ability to slowly build the tree over multiple documents so many things can encode using the same map.

CSV parsing: https://github.com/massung/csv

A very simple CSV parser and formatter. It follows RFC 4180. It’s just one of those things you periodically see people asking how to do (correctly)… so here’s one.

Cheers!
