PHP's generators are a great way for building incremental parsers.

Example

This simple parser parses a line delimited protocol and prints a message for each line. Instead of printing a message, you could also invoke a data callback.

$parser = new Parser((function () {
    while (true) {
        $line = yield "\r\n";
        
        if (trim($line) === "") {
            continue;
        }
        
        print "New item: {$line}" . PHP_EOL;
    }
})());

for ($i = 0; $i < 100; $i++) {
    $parser->push("bar\r");
    $parser->push("\nfoo");
}

Yield Behavior

You can either yield a string that's used as delimiter, an integer that's used as length, or null for consuming everything that's available.
