//! modified from nom example https://github.com/rust-bakery/nom/blob/7.1.3/examples/string.rs
//! License MIT:
//! from @0x7FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF and @Geal
//! This example shows an example of how to parse an escaped string. The
//! rules for the string are similar to JSON and rust. A string is:
//!
//! - Enclosed by double quotes
//! - Can contain any raw unescaped code point besides \ and "
//! - Matches the following escape sequences: \b, \f, \n, \r, \t, \", \\, \/
//! - Matches code points like Rust: \u{XXXX}, where XXXX can be up to 6
//! hex characters
//! - an escape followed by whitespace consumes all whitespace between the
//! escape and the next non-whitespace character
