Bio::Phylo::Parsers::Fastnewick - Parses newick trees. No serviceable parts inside.
This module parses tree descriptions in parenthetical format. It is called by the Bio::Phylo::IO facade, don't call it directly. It is different from Bio::Phylo::Parsers::Newick in that it does not add unique labels to internal nodes (it does respect the ones that are already there, though) and it is about four times faster. However, it is not considered 'stable', yet (i.e. there might be bugs).
The newick parser is called by the Bio::Phylo::IO object. Look there to learn how to parse newick strings.
Also see the manual: Bio::Phylo::Manual.
