TODO

• Build minimal parser
• Build minimal generator
• Use self-hosted parser
• Parse rfc2822
• Clean up generator
• Improve test coverage
• Log error messages during parsing
• Improve UX of parsing for specific rules

Installation

If available in Hex, the package can be installed as:

1. Add abnf to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

   def deps do [{:abnf, "~> 0.0.1"}] end

2. Ensure abnf is started before your application:
