+//! Parsing interface for parsing a token stream into a syntax tree node.
+//!
+//! Parsing in Syn is built on parser functions that take in a [`ParseStream`]
+//! and produce a [`Result<T>`] where `T` is some syntax tree node. Underlying
+//! these parser functions is a lower level mechanism built around the
+//! [`Cursor`] type. `Cursor` is a cheaply copyable cursor over a range of
+//! tokens in a token stream.
+//!
+//! [`ParseStream`]: type.ParseStream.html
+//! [`Result<T>`]: type.Result.html
+//! [`Cursor`]: ../buffer/index.html
+//!
+//! # Example
+//!
+//! Here is a snippet of parsing code to get a feel for the style of the
+//! library. We define data structures for a subset of Rust syntax including
+//! enums (not shown) and structs, then provide implementations of the [`Parse`]
+//! trait to parse these syntax tree data structures from a token stream.
+//!
+//! Once `Parse` impls have been defined, they can be called conveniently from a
+//! procedural macro through [`parse_macro_input!`] as shown at the bottom of
+//! the snippet. If the caller provides syntactically invalid input to the
+//! procedural macro, they will receive a helpful compiler error message
+//! pointing out the exact token that triggered the failure to parse.
+//!
+//! [`parse_macro_input!`]: ../macro.parse_macro_input.html
+//!
+//! ```edition2018
+//! extern crate proc_macro;
+//!
+//! use proc_macro::TokenStream;
+//! use syn::{braced, parse_macro_input, token, Field, Ident, Result, Token};
+//! use syn::parse::{Parse, ParseStream};
+//! use syn::punctuated::Punctuated;
+//!
+//! enum Item {
+//!     Struct(ItemStruct),
+//!     Enum(ItemEnum),
+//! }
+//!
+//! struct ItemStruct {
+//!     struct_token: Token![struct],
+//!     ident: Ident,
+//!     brace_token: token::Brace,
+//!     fields: Punctuated<Field, Token![,]>,
+//! }
+//! #

+//!         Ok(ItemStruct {
+//!             struct_token: input.parse()?,
+//!             ident: input.parse()?,
+//!             brace_token: braced!(content in input),
+//!             fields: content.parse_terminated(Field::parse_named)?,
+//!         })
+//!     }
+//! }
+//! #
+//! # impl Parse for ItemEnum {
+//! #     fn parse(input: ParseStream) -> Result<Self> {
+//! #         unimplemented!()
+//! #     }
+//! # }

+//! # const IGNORE: &str = stringify! {

+//!     let input = parse_macro_input!(tokens as Item);
+//!
+//!     /* ... */
+//! #   "".parse().unwrap()
+//! }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! # The `syn::parse*` functions
+//!
+//! The [`syn::parse`], [`syn::parse2`], and [`syn::parse_str`] functions serve
+//! as an entry point for parsing syntax tree nodes that can be parsed in an
+//! obvious default way. These functions can return any syntax tree node that
+//! implements the [`Parse`] trait, which includes most types in Syn.
+//!
+//! [`syn::parse`]: ../fn.parse.html
+//! [`syn::parse2`]: ../fn.parse2.html
+//! [`syn::parse_str`]: ../fn.parse_str.html
+//! [`Parse`]: trait.Parse.html
+//!
+//! ```edition2018
+//! use syn::Type;
+//!
+//! # fn run_parser() -> syn::Result<()> {
+//! let t: Type = syn::parse_str("std::collections::HashMap<String, Value>")?;
+//! #     Ok(())
+//! # }
+//! #
+//! # fn main() {
+//! #     run_parser().unwrap();
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! The [`parse_quote!`] macro also uses this approach.
+//!
+//! [`parse_quote!`]: ../macro.parse_quote.html
+//!
+//! # The `Parser` trait
+//!
+//! Some types can be parsed in several ways depending on context. For example
+//! an [`Attribute`] can be either "outer" like `#[...]` or "inner" like
+//! `#![...]` and parsing the wrong one would be a bug. Similarly [`Punctuated`]
+//! may or may not allow trailing punctuation, and parsing it the wrong way
+//! would either reject valid input or accept invalid input.
+//!
+//! [`Attribute`]: ../struct.Attribute.html
+//! [`Punctuated`]: ../punctuated/index.html
+//!
+//! The `Parse` trait is not implemented in these cases because there is no good
+//! behavior to consider the default.
+//!
+//! ```edition2018,compile_fail
+//! # extern crate proc_macro;
+//! #
+//! # use syn::punctuated::Punctuated;
+//! # use syn::{PathSegment, Result, Token};
+//! #
+//! # fn f(tokens: proc_macro::TokenStream) -> Result<()> {
+//! #
+//! // Can't parse `Punctuated` without knowing whether trailing punctuation
+//! // should be allowed in this context.
+//! let path: Punctuated<PathSegment, Token![::]> = syn::parse(tokens)?;
+//! #
+//! #     Ok(())
+//! # }
+//! ```
+//!
+//! In these cases the types provide a choice of parser functions rather than a
+//! single `Parse` implementation, and those parser functions can be invoked
+//! through the [`Parser`] trait.
+//!
+//! [`Parser`]: trait.Parser.html
+//!
+//! ```edition2018
+//! extern crate proc_macro;
+//!
+//! use proc_macro::TokenStream;

+//! use syn::punctuated::Punctuated;
+//! use syn::{Attribute, Expr, PathSegment, Result, Token};
+//!
+//! fn call_some_parser_methods(input: TokenStream) -> Result<()> {
+//!     // Parse a nonempty sequence of path segments separated by `::` punctuation
+//!     // with no trailing punctuation.
+//!     let tokens = input.clone();
+//!     let parser = Punctuated::<PathSegment, Token![::]>::parse_separated_nonempty;
+//!     let _path = parser.parse(tokens)?;
+//!
+//!     // Parse a possibly empty sequence of expressions terminated by commas with
