# phos
Phos (short for phosphophyllite) is both a Gemini client library for
Common Lisp and an experiment at making a GUI in lisp.
Phos provides three packages:
- `phos/gemtext` which provides all the functionalities needed to parse
text/gemini (gemtext),
- `phos/gemini` which provides functions to make Gemini requests and
parse the response,
- `phos/ui` which is an experiment at writing an UI, but it's not
really maintained.
### phos/gemtext
All the lines types are instance of the `element` base class. The
`parse` routine is the main function, it takes a stream and produces a
list of lines. `parse-string` is an helper which parses a string.
The generic function `unparse` turns an element, or a list of elements,
into a text representation that is written in the given stream.
There are also various helpers, like `title-p`, `link-p`, `line-eq`,
etc...
### phos/gemini
The main function is `with-gemini-request` which exposes a stream with
the gemini content and can be used to handle replies by streaming. The
helper `request` instead loads all the reply in memory and returns it as
a string if it was of a `text/*` MIME type or binary otherwise.
