//! Parsing interface for parsing a token stream into a syntax tree node.
//!
//! All syntax tree nodes that can be parsed from a token stream need to
//! implement the [`Synom`] trait. This trait is usually implemented using the
//! [`nom`]-style parser combinator macros provided by Syn, but may also be
//! implemented without macros be using the low-level [`Cursor`] API directly.
//!
//! [`Synom`]: trait.Synom.html
//! [`nom`]: https://github.com/Geal/nom
//! [`Cursor`]: ../buffer/index.html
//!
//! The following parser combinator macros are available and a `Synom` parsing
//! example is provided for each one.
