Basic Usage
using Parsers
# basic int/float parsing
x = Parsers.parse("101", Int)
y = Parsers.parse("101.101", Float64)
# use comma as decimal
y2 = Parsers.parse("101,101", Float64, Parsers.Options(decimal=','))
# Bool parsing
z = Parsers.parse("true", Bool)
# Date/DateTime parsing
using Dates
a = Parsers.parse("2018-01-01", Date)
# custom dateformat
b = Parsers.parse("01/20/2018", Date, Parsers.Options(dateformat="mm/dd/yyyy"))
# will throw on invalid values
Parsers.parse("abc", Int)
# tryparse will return `nothing` on invalid values
y = Parsers.tryparse("abc", Int)Additional usage
