 The parser uses [Parsica](https://parsica.verraes.net/) as an underlying parsing library in order to map fairly directly and clearly onto the published KDL grammar - Parsica uses FP principles, and one result of this is that the call stack depth used during parsing may be high. Be warned if you are using e.g. xdebug, as parsing may exceed any normal maximum stack depth that you may set.
