We present a new language construct, filtered iterators, for robust input processing. Filtered iterators are designed to eliminate many common input-processing errors while enabling robust continued execution. e design is inspired by (a) observed common input-processing errors and (b) successful strategies implemented by human developers fixing input processing errors. Filtered iterators decompose inputs into input units and atomically and automatically discard units that trigger errors. Statistically significant results from a developer study demonstrate the effectiveness of filtered iterators in enabling developers to produce robust input-processing code without common input-processing defects.
