This library contains functionality for parsing and pretty-printing
S-expressions. In addition to that it contains an extremely useful
preprocessing module for Camlp4, which can be used to automatically generate
code from type definitions for efficiently converting OCaml-values to
S-expressions and vice versa. In combination with the parsing and
pretty-printing functionality this frees the user from having to write his own
I/O-routines for data structures he defines. Possible errors during automatic
conversions from S-expressions to OCaml-values are reported in a very
human-readable way. Another module in the library allows you to extract and
replace sub-expressions in S-expressions.
