parenthesis

Parse parentheses from a string, return folded arrays. ```js var parse = require('parenthesis') // Parse into nested format parse('a(bc{d})') // 'a(', 'b', 'c{', 'd', '}', '', ')' // Parse into flat format with cross-references parse('a(bc{d})', {

brackets: ['()'],

escape: '\\',

flat: true

}) // 'a(\\1)', 'bc{d}' // Stringify nested format parse.stringify('a(', 'b', 'c{', 'd', '}', '', ')') // 'a(bc{d})' // Stringify flat format with cross-references parse.stringify('a(\\1)', 'bc{d}', {flat: true, escape: '\\'}) // 'a(bc{d})' ```
