Major Changes

• Parser and Consumer have been merged.
  • Parser no longer wraps its results with Try; exceptions will be thrown. Use parser.wrapSafe to emulate old behavior.
• xml-spac has been split into separate modules: spac-core, xml-spac, and json-spac
  • All XML-specific features of Parser and Splitter now exist in XMLParser and XMLSplitter
    • If you were using Parser, you should now use XMLParser.
      • except for Parser.constant
    • If you were using Splitter, you should now use XMLSplitter.
  • New JSON-specific features exist on JsonParser and JsonSplitter
  • The Splitter trait and companion still exist, but only with general-purpose methods
  • The Parser companion now only contains generic parser constructors. For XML or JSON-specific parsers, use the XMLParser or JsonParser objects.
• Removed the homemade Functor implementation, and the FunctorSyntax convenience methods. Possible integration with Cats at a later date.

Minor Changes

• Most of the Consumer/Parser and Transformer convenience constructors have been lower-cased
• ContextMatcher now takes an Elem type parameter (to support matching against JSON and XML contexts)
• The internals of Splitter have some new abstractions that make it easier to create custom splitters
• The new FromHandlerFactor typeclass makes it easier to convert between Parser and Consumer
• Deprecated Splitter#through, renamed it to map
• Changed some of the internal event management classes to better support JSON events/contexts

New Features

• JSON support via json-spac
• Add Transformer#transform for #16
• Splitter now supports flatMap-ing with Transformer (see Example6 for why this is helpful)
• ConsumableLike now exposes an Iterator for pull-style parsing
• Add Parser#orElse to handle varying input formats
• Add Parser#interruptedBy to help with certain followedBy scenarios (see Example7)
• Add Parser#beforeContext as a convenience for Parser#interruptedBy
