The namespace layer rejects malformed qualified names, declarations of
the xmlns prefix, misbindings of the xml prefix and either reserved
namespace name (including as the default namespace), and prefix
undeclaration; attributes must be distinct by expanded name; PI targets
and entity/notation names are NCNames; and DTD-typed xmlns values bind
their normalized form. Clears all 18 namespace cases from the eduni
baseline; xmltest valid/sa/012 joins the documented deviations per the
suite's own NAMESPACE='no' flag.
Closes#136
Make the DTD declaration grammar strict: <!ENTITY> requires its whitespace
(after the keyword, around %, after the name), a real name (not #DEFAULT),
nothing but '>' after the value, NDATA preceded by whitespace and forbidden
on parameter entities; entity-value literals are validated (XML Chars only,
every & a complete reference); SYSTEM/PUBLIC external identifiers parse
strictly (PUBLIC needs both literals for entities and the DOCTYPE, public-only
stays legal for notations) with PubidChar validation; <!ATTLIST> bodies are
validated against XML 1.0 productions 52-60 via a new DTDAttListGrammar
(spacing, attribute types, enumerations, quoted defaults); the reserved xml
PI target is rejected inside the subset. Also: strict UTF-8 decoding (no
silent replacement of malformed sequences), XML Char checks in attribute
values and CDATA, the declaration's version/encoding value grammar, and
required whitespace between pseudo-attributes. The strict machinery lives in
DoctypeScannerStrict/DTDAttListGrammar to stay under the length caps.
W3C xmltest: not-wf/sa 162/186 rejected (from 129; 80 at first contact),
valid/sa 118/119, zero false positives across all 846 tests at every step.
The remaining 24-case baseline is exactly: the entity replacement-text class
(19) and the deliberate internal-subset extensions this package supports as
features (conditional sections, PEs in the internal subset: 5).
Part of #120, #105
Third W3C-suite strictness pass: DTDContentModelGrammar validates each
element declaration's content specification against the XML 1.0 grammar
(productions 46-51) at DTD scan time, EMPTY/ANY, Mixed (with #PCDATA first,
names only, the trailing * required with alternatives, no nesting), and
children (one connector per group, quantifiers bound directly to their
particle, balanced parentheses, no empty groups, no SGML leftovers like
'- -', 'O O', '&' connectors, or inclusion/exclusion suffixes). The element
declaration also requires whitespace after <!ELEMENT and after the name. The
lenient ContentModelParser still drives validation behavior; this is a
well-formedness gate. not-wf/sa: 129/186 rejected (from 109); valid/sa
unchanged; zero false positives across all 846 suite tests; baseline rebased
to the exact 57 remaining (declaration-grammar details and the entity
replacement-text class).
Part of #120, #105
Character references now require lowercase 'x' for hex and a referenced code
point inside the XML Char production (rejecting �, , ,
surrogates, and X). The reserved 'xml' processing-instruction target
(any case) is legal only as the declaration at the document's very first
bytes: whitespace or a comment before <?xml ...?>, a declaration inside
content or after the root, and case variants like <?XML?> are all rejected.
Comments and PI data are checked for the XML Char production like content.
not-wf/sa: 109/186 rejected (from 93); valid/sa unchanged at 118/119; all
846 suite tests green, baseline rebased to the exact 77 remaining (the
internal-subset grammar and entity replacement-text classes on #120).
Part of #120, #105
Add five well-formedness checks the W3C xmltest suite surfaced: '--' inside
comments (also rejecting the ---> ending), raw '<' in attribute values, the
literal ]]> sequence in character data, attributes not separated by
whitespace, and characters outside the XML Char production in content, each
a located ParseError. The attribute scanners move to EventReaderAttributes
to stay under the type-body cap.
Add the opt-in W3C xmltest runner (XMLTS_ROOT-gated; the suite is never
vendored, James Clark's license permits redistribution only as the unmodified
archive; Foundation is used in this one test file for file access only).
Baseline: valid/sa 118/119, not-wf/sa 93/186 rejected (up from 80), the
remaining 93 carried as an exact known-deviations baseline so progress and
regressions are both visible. The two remaining leniency classes (internal-
subset DTD grammar, entity replacement-text well-formedness) are #120.
Part of #105 (Tier 2)
Parse the XML declaration's pseudo-attributes instead of skipping the
<?xml?> processing instruction:
- version, encoding, and standalone are surfaced on a new XMLDeclaration,
returned from parseWithDocumentType and via PureXML.xmlDeclaration(_:).
- The pseudo-attributes are validated: fixed order (version, encoding,
standalone), known names only, and standalone must be yes or no. A
malformed declaration is rejected.
- The declared version is now readable, a prerequisite for XML 1.1.
parseWithDocumentType returns a ParsedDocument struct (node,
documentType, declaration) rather than a 2-tuple; the member names are
unchanged so existing call sites are unaffected.
Closes#95
Add opt-in DTD processing behind Limits(allowDoctype:), off by default. When on,
DoctypeScanner reads the <!DOCTYPE> internal subset and honors internal
<!ENTITY name "value"> general entities, which EntityDecoder expands recursively
in text and attribute values.
Safety is mandatory and reimplemented from the Expat amplification-accounting
model (no upstream code copied):
- only entity-expanded characters count against a shared budget
(Limits.maxEntityExpansion); overflow raises amplificationLimitExceeded, which
defeats billion-laughs.
- a visiting set detects recursive entities (recursiveEntity).
- undeclared references raise undefinedEntity.
- external entities are never stored or loaded, so XXE stays closed.
The default still rejects <!DOCTYPE>. 8 DTD tests (incl. billion-laughs and the
external-entity refusal); 49 total.
Add namespace resolution following the XML Namespaces rules, reimplemented in
Swift from libxml2's SAX2 model; no upstream code copied.
- QualifiedName gains an optional resolved namespaceURI (nil for names built
directly or in no namespace), with a resolved(namespaceURI:) helper.
- NamespaceContext maintains a scope stack of xmlns bindings as elements open
and close, resolving element and attribute names against it.
- A default namespace applies to unprefixed element names but never to
attributes; the xml prefix is built in; xmlns declarations are preserved as
attributes so documents round-trip; an unbound prefix raises
ParseError.undefinedNamespacePrefix. End-tag matching stays lexical.
- Namespace-free documents are unchanged (URIs remain nil).
- 7 namespace tests; 39 total.
Add PureXML.parse(bytes:) and events(bytes:) for raw [UInt8] input. The encoding
is detected following the XML sniff order (BOM first, then the <? byte pattern,
defaulting to UTF-8) and decoded with the Swift standard library only, so the
package stays Foundation-free and portable. UTF-8 and UTF-16 (both byte orders,
with or without a BOM) are supported, the encoding set the XML spec requires.
Malformed input (odd-length UTF-16) raises ParseError.malformedEncoding.
PureXML.Parsing.InputEncoding.detect(_:) exposes the detector. The lint rule
optional_data_string_conversion is disabled because its suggested fix is a
Foundation API this package cannot use. Reimplemented from the documented XML
byte-detection algorithm; no upstream code copied.
Add PureXML.Parsing.Limits: configurable caps on nesting depth (default 256,
matching libxml2), name length, and content length, enforced during scanning in
the event reader. This protects against pathological input (deeply nested or
oversized documents) and keeps the recursive Model.Node value safe to build and
tear down (extreme depth otherwise overflows on ARC release). Threaded through
Parser.parse and the top-level parse/events API. Reimplemented from libxml2's
bounded-by-default posture; no upstream code copied.
Replace the notImplemented stub with a real parser built on a pull-based,
streaming event core that never requires the whole document in memory.
- Parsing.EventReader: pulls characters through a source closure with a bounded
lookahead buffer and emits one Parsing.Event at a time, holding only an
open-element stack. Drives chunked/streamed input.
- Parsing.Parser: builds a Model.Node tree iteratively over the event core
(explicit stack, no recursion).
- Reader: streaming character cursor (closure-backed, bounded buffer) replacing
the previous whole-string Array.
- EntityDecoder: the five predefined entities and decimal/hex char references.
- Handles elements, attributes, text, comments, CDATA, processing instructions,
and an XML declaration in the prolog. Rejects <!DOCTYPE> by default (no
DTD/XXE/entity-expansion exposure).
- Top-level API: parse(_:), parse(pulling:), events(_:), events(pulling:).
- 21 tests including event-stream and chunked-source coverage.
Root Swift package mirroring PureYAML's structure, rules, and verification
gates. Includes the XML node model (Node, Element, Attribute, QualifiedName),
a working emitter (Serializer) with escaping and pretty/compact options, and
structural validation. The parser surface is stable; parse() raises
notImplemented until the scanner lands, pinned by a test.
- dependency-free, namespaced under PureXML
- portability and style gates carried over (style, namespacing, forbidden
patterns, swiftformat, swiftlint, linux, wasm, windows CI)
- 11 tests passing
