Pulldown-KDL

This project implements a pull parser for the KDL Document Language version 2, written in Rust.

Rationale

Unlike node-based or serde-based parsers, pull parsers don't load the document at once in memory, choosing instead to "stream" events as it reads the document. This improves performance while also allowing other types of parsers to be built as higher level abstractions. Check out pulldown-cmark's (a major inspiration in philosophy) short manifesto on Why a pull parser.

It's currently in its infancy, so, if you need a complete and stable library, take a look at kdl-rs.
