# WhitespaceNET

This utility enables easy parsing of significant whitespace text, like python or yaml files. It is a useful base for creating custom file formats or programming languages that utilises indentation for scope.

## Full text scan

```csharp

var doc = Hierarchy.FromString(@"

    example: yaml

    with-hierarchy:

        a: 3

        b: Example

    ");

Console.WriteLine(doc.Length);              // 2

Console.WriteLine(doc[0].text);             // example: yaml

Console.WriteLine(doc[1].text);             // width-hierarchy:

Console.WriteLine(doc[1].content.Count);    // 2

Console.WriteLine(doc[1].content[0].text);  // a: 3

Console.WriteLine(doc[1].content[1].text);  // b: Example

```

## Indentation of a single line

```csharp

var indentation = WhitespaceReader.IndentationOf("\t\tHello World");

Console.WriteLine(indentation); // 2

```

It is also possible to supply custom parsing rules with the settings class:

```csharp

var indentation = WhitespaceReader.IndentationOf("      Hello World", new Settings

{

    tabSizeInSpaces = 2

});

Console.WriteLine(indentation); // 3

```
