Hi Sean,
1. Please do not confuse haskell-src and haskell-src-exts. You should
definitely use the latter. I also find it relatively well documented.
2. If your goal is to write a tool and not to write a Haskell parser as
an exercise, then I would recommend haskell-src-exts. Another option
is the GHC API.
If you have any particular questions or difficulties with these
libraries, feel free to post them here.

Hi,
I've been spending a bit of time looking into using Parsec as a parser for a subset of the syntax of the Haskell language, a high level description of what I'm looking to create is a parser which confirms whether a given Haskell code file is valid or in the case that it isn't returns some helpful error messages to the user. (Please bear with me, I know this is a strange implementation)
My question is that while I have a modest understanding of Parsec from tutorials, the haskell-src package has also been recommended of which I can find very limited documentation in comparison. However, the issue arises from both my limited understanding of haskell and lack of information on the usage of haskell-src.
Can anybody provide me with some guidance on whether to try and create the parser using Parsec or if haskell-src is a better option. In the case that haskell-src is a better option, are there any tutorials or documents that I would benefit from reading?
Thanks in advance, Seán
