Example

Define your tokens by marking them with the IToken interface.

public record PlusToken : IToken;
public record MinusToken : IToken;
public record MultiplicationToken : IToken;
public record DivisionToken : IToken;

You have to define an EpsilonToken marked with the IEpsilonToken interface. This will be returned by the LexerReader when you read past the end.

public record EpsilonToken : IEpsilonToken;

Create the rules how you want to lex the tokens.

LexerResult result = LexerRuleBook.Builder
    .AddRule(char.IsDigit, ScanNumber)
    .AddSimpleRule<PlusToken>("+")
    .AddSimpleRule<MinusToken>("-")
    .AddSimpleRule<MultiplicationToken>("*")
    .AddSimpleRule<DivisionToken>("/")
    .WithEpsilonToken<EpsilonToken>()
    .Build()
    .Scan("40+20*6");

Use the lexeme-builder to build any token you want.

private static Lexeme ScanNumber(ILexemeBuilder builder)
    => builder.Peek().Match(none: false, some: char.IsDigit)
        ? ScanNumber(builder.Retain())
        : builder.Build(new NumberToken(int.Parse(builder.CurrentToken)));

Create a rulebook

You always start with an empty LexerRuleBook.Builder
