* All parser pipelines including tokenizer and DOM stuff are now constructed
from a 'recipe' data structure in a ParserPipelineFactory.
* All sub-pipelines of these can now be cached
* Event registrations to a pipeline are directly forwarded to the last
pipeline member to save relatively expensive event forwarding.
* Some APIs for on-demand expansion / format conversion of parameters from
parser functions are added:
param.to('tokens/expanded', cb)
param.to('text/wiki', cb) (this does not work yet)
All parameters are additionally wrapped into a Param object that provides
method for positional parameter naming (.named() or conversion to a dict
(.dict()).
* The async token transform manager is now separated from a frame object, with
the frame holding arguments, an on-demand expansion method and loop checks.
* Only keys of template parameters are now expanded. Parser functions or
template arguments trigger an expansion on-demand. This (unsurprisingly)
makes a big performance difference with typical switch-heavy template
systems.
* Return values from async transforms are no longer used in favor of plain
callbacks. This saves the complication of having to maintain two code paths.
A trick in transformTokens still avoids the construction of unneeded
TokenAccumulators.
* The results of template expansions are no longer buffered.
* 301 parser tests are passing
Known issues:
* Cosmetic cleanup remains to do
* Some parser functions do not support async expansions yet, and need to be
modified.

Explained in the README how to use npm to load the dependencies and run tests. Too bad about NODE_PATH...
Don't try to find parserTests.txt in assorted places--if it isn't present, fetch from gerrit. You can symlink from core if you're developing on both parsers, and the fetch script will not overwrite.
Use __dirname in parserTests.js to allow the script to run independent of current working directory.

Instead of a proliferation of data-mw-* attributes, it should be easier to
stash all private / non-semantic round-trip information in a JSON object
stored in data-mw.

wgUploadPath configurable. Also change the hard-coded fall-back image sizes to
sensible defaults. This breaks three parser tests until image size retrieval
from the wiki is implemented.
possible to support template / template argument expansion in image options,
and causes little trouble for wikilinks. Non-image wikilinks with multiple
text pipes are quite rare in the dumps, and concatenating description tokens
with a plain '|' is quite easy. 261 parser tests passing.
serialized into a single data-mw-rt attribute if present. Update parserTests
to ignore this attribute for comparisons with expected parser output.
A few more tweaks and notes are thrown into this commit too. 233 tests are
passing now.
The TokenTransformDispatcher now actually implements an asynchronous, phased
token transformation framework as described in
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Future/Parser_development/Token_stream_transformations.
Additionally, the parser pipeline is now mostly held together using events.
The tokenizer still emits a lame single events with all tokens, as block-level
emission failed with scoping issues specific to the PEGJS parser generator.
All stages clean up when receiving the end tokens, so that the full pipeline
can be used for repeated parsing.
The QuoteTransformer is not yet 100% fixed to work with the new interface, and
the Cite extension is disabled for now pending adaptation. Bold-italic related
tests are failing currently.
start / row / table end). The old productions are not deleted yet to make it
easy to compare the output on more complex articles. 181 tests passing after
adding two table tests with whitespace-only differences to the whitelist.
This required a few further additions to the TokenTransformDispatcher. In
particular, there is now an 'any' token match whose callbacks are executed
before more specific callbacks. This is used by the Cite extension to eat all
tokens between ref and /ref tags. This need is very common, so should be
broken out to an intermediate layer in the future.
In general, the requirements for the TokenTransformDispatcher API are now
clearer, and the API should likely be cleaned up / simplified.
token stream. This is the first token transformation exercising the
TokenTransformer class as its dispatcher. Template expansions, wiki link
formatting, tag sanitation and extensions should be able to use the same
dispatcher by registering for specific token types.
The parser performance is very slightly improved as the token stream is only
traversed once.
