Package parser contains a GraphQL parser. Based on GraphQL spec June 2018.

Lexer for Source Text - @spec 2.1

Lex() is a lexer function to convert a given search query into a list of tokens.

Based on a talk by Rob Pike: Lexical Scanning in Go

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxaD_trXwRE

The lexer's output is pushed into a channel which is consumed by the parser.
This design enables the concurrent processing of the input text by lexer and
parser.

Parser

Parse() is a parser which produces a parse tree from a given set of lexer tokens.

Based on an article by Douglas Crockford: Top Down Operator Precedence

http://crockford.com/javascript/tdop/tdop.html

which is based on the ideas of Vaughan Pratt and his paper: Top Down Operator Precedence

http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=512931
https://tdop.github.io/

ParseWithRuntime() parses a given input and decorates the resulting parse tree
with runtime components which can be used to interpret the parsed query.

	// Punctuators - @spec 2.1.8

	// GraphQL documents include punctuation in order to describe structure.
	// GraphQL is a data description language and not a programming language,
	// therefore GraphQL lacks the punctuation often used to describe mathematical expressions.

	// Names - @spec 2.1.9

	// GraphQL Documents are full of named things: operations, fields, arguments, types,
	// directives, fragments, and variables. All names must follow the same grammatical
	// form. Names in GraphQL are case‐sensitive. That is to say name, Name, and NAME
	// all refer to different names. Underscores are significant, which means
	// other_name and othername are two different names. Names in GraphQL are limited
	// to this ASCII subset of possible characters to support interoperation with as
	// many other systems as possible.

	TokenName

	// Integer value - @spec 2.9.1

	// An Integer number is specified without a decimal point or exponent (ex. 1).

	TokenIntValue

	// Float value - @spec 2.9.2

	// A Float number includes either a decimal point (ex. 1.0) or an exponent
	// (ex. 1e50) or both (ex. 6.0221413e23).

	TokenFloatValue

	// String Value - @spec 2.9.4

	// Strings are sequences of characters wrapped in double‐quotes (").
	// (ex. "Hello World"). White space and other otherwise‐ignored characters are
	// significant within a string value. Unicode characters are allowed within String
	// value literals, however SourceCharacter must not contain some ASCII control
	// characters so escape sequences must be used to represent these characters.
