Fast PostreSQL array parsing.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'pg_array_parser'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install pg_array_parser

Include the PgArrayParser module, which provides the parse_pg_array method.

class MyPostgresParser
  include PgArrayParser
end

parser = MyPostgresParser.new
parser.parse_pg_array '{}'
# => []
parser.parse_pg_array '{1,2,3,4}'
# => ["1", "2", "3", "4"]
parser.parse_pg_array '{1,{2,3},4}'
# => ["1", ["2", "3"], "4"]
parser.parse_pg_array '{some,strings that,"May have some ,\'s"}'
# => ["some", "strings that", "May have some ,'s"]
