Lexer and parser library for geometric and geographic point string values.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

There are two use patterns for the parser. The value to be parsed can be passed into the constructor, then parse() called on the returned `Parser` object:

```
$input  = '79°56′55″W, 40°26′46″N';

$parser = new Parser($input);

$value = $parser->parse();
```

If many values need to be parsed, a single `Parser` instance can be used:

```
$input1 = '56.242 E';
$input2 = '40:26:46 S';

$parser = new Parser();

$value1 = $parser->parse($input1);
$value2 = $parser->parse($input2);
```

Supported Formats
-----------------

[](#supported-formats)

Both single values and pairs are supported. Some samples of supported formats are below, though not every possible iteration may be explicitly specified:

1. Simple single signed values

- 40
- -40
- -8.543
- +132
- +77.2

2. Simple single signed values with degree symbol

- 40°
- -40°
- -5.234°
- +43°
- +38.43°

3. Single unsigned values with or without degree symbol, and cardinal direction

- 40° N
- 40 S
- 56.242 E

4. Single values of signed integer degrees with degree symbol, and decimal minutes with apostrophe

- 40° 26.222'
- -65° 32.22'
- +165° 52.22'

5. Single values of unsigned integer degrees with degree symbol, decimal minutes with apostrophe, and cardinal direction

- 40° 26.222' E
- 65° 32.22' S

6. Single values of signed integer degrees with degree symbol, integer minutes with apostrophe, and optional integer or decimal seconds with quote

- 40° 26' 46"
- -79° 58' 56"
- 93° 19' 25.8"
- +120° 19' 25.8"

6. Single values of signed integer degrees with colon symbol, integer minutes, and optional colon and integer or decimal seconds

- +40:26:46
- -79:58:56
- 93:19:25.8

7. Single values of unsigned integer degrees with degree symbol, integer minutes with apostrophe, optional integer or decimal seconds with quote, and cardinal direction

- 40° 26' 46" S
- 99° 58' 56" W
- 44° 58' 53.9" N

7. Single values of unsigned integer degrees with colon symbol, integer minutes with, optional colon and integer or decimal seconds, and cardinal direction

- 40:26:46 S
- 99:58:56 W
- 44:58:53.9 N

8. Two of any one format separated by whitespace
9. Two of any one format separated by a comma

Return
------

[](#return)

The parser will return a integer/float or an array containing a pair of these values.

Exceptions
----------

[](#exceptions)

The `Lexer` and `Parser` will throw exceptions implementing interface `CrEOF\Geo\String\Exception\ExceptionInterface`.
