Add the PureXML.XSLT namespace with a stylesheet model (template rules with
match patterns and computed default priorities, the instruction sequence
constructor, attribute value templates) and a parser compiling an
xsl:stylesheet document into it. Recognizes the XSLT vocabulary by namespace
or xsl prefix; other elements become literal result elements. Covers
apply-templates, value-of, for-each, if, choose, element, attribute, copy,
copy-of, call-template, variable, text, and sort.
Closes#14
Add the RELAX NG pattern algebra (Pattern, NameClass), a parser for the XML
syntax into a grammar of start plus named defines, and James Clark's
derivative validation algorithm. The pattern is derived through each
start-tag, attribute, text, and end-tag event with simplifying constructors;
the document is valid when the residual pattern is nullable. Supports
element, attribute, text, empty, notAllowed, group, choice, interleave,
optional, zeroOrMore, oneOrMore, mixed, list, ref/define, data, value, and
the name classes; handles interleave and recursive grammars, reusing the XSD
datatype library for data and value.
Closes#11Closes#12
Add Schema.Document compiling an xs:schema into global element declarations
and a named-type table, and validate(_:) checking instance documents end to
end. The parser supports global and local element declarations, named and
inline simple and complex types, sequence/choice/all groups with occurrence,
attribute uses, simple content (restriction/extension), the full facet set,
and recursive types via named references resolved during validation. Extends
ComplexType with a typeReference case and ComplexValidator with a type table
so recursive schemas are representable.
Closes#10
Add ComplexValidator validating an element against a ComplexType: attribute
uses (required, typed, unknown-attribute rejection) and the content model
(empty, simpleContent, elementOnly, mixed). Particles compile to a Thompson
NFA over element names honoring minOccurs/maxOccurs with sequence and choice
compositors; all groups are validated order-independently by counting. Child
elements are validated recursively against their declared types.
Closes#9
Add the PureXML.Schema namespace validating XSD Part 2 built-in datatypes
and constraining facets. Built-ins span string/boolean/decimal, the bounded
integer family with intrinsic bounds, float/double, duration, the eight
date/time types, hexBinary, base64Binary, anyURI, QName, and the
Name/NCName/NMTOKEN/language family. Facets: length/minLength/maxLength,
pattern (via the regex engine), enumeration (value-space comparison),
whiteSpace, min/maxInclusive/Exclusive, totalDigits, fractionDigits.
Decimals compare exactly with no floating-point loss; date/time fields are
range-validated with leap years, 24:00:00, and timezone bounds.
Closes#8
Add the PureXML.Regex namespace: a recursive-descent parser for the XSD
regex grammar (literals, ., character classes with ranges and negation, the
\d \w \s family and negations, single-char escapes, grouping, alternation,
and the ?, *, +, {n}, {n,}, {n,m} quantifiers) compiled to a Thompson NFA.
matches(_:) is whole-string as xs:pattern requires, and runs linear in the
input with no backtracking blow-up. \p{...} category escapes are not yet
supported.
Closes#59Closes#60Closes#30
Add the PureXML.Canonical namespace rendering the C14N form: namespaces
sorted by prefix (default first), attributes by namespace URI then local
name, empty elements expanded to start/end pairs, CDATA folded into escaped
text, and the C14N escaping rules. Inclusive mode renders every in-scope
namespace; exclusive mode renders only visibly-used namespaces plus an
InclusiveNamespaces prefix list. Comments omitted unless requested. For
whole-tree canonicalization C14N 1.0 and 1.1 coincide.
Closes#54Closes#55Closes#56Closes#26
Add the PureXML.XInclude namespace: RFC 3986 reference resolution
(URIReference with dot-segment removal) and an xi:include processor over the
value tree. href resolves against the base and in-scope xml:base; parse=xml
includes the document element or an xpointer() fragment (via PureXML.XPointer),
parse=text includes raw text, and a failed load uses xi:fallback or errors.
Includes nest. No I/O is done internally: fetching is only through the
injected loadingURI closure, so the default fetches nothing.
Closes#48Closes#49Closes#50Closes#51Closes#24
Add the PureXML.Catalog namespace: parse an OASIS XML catalog (public,
system, uri, rewriteSystem, rewriteURI, group/catalog by local name) into a
Resolver mapping public/system identifiers and URI names to URIs, with
longest-prefix rewriting and system-over-public precedence. entityResolver
(loadingURI:) builds a Parsing.EntityResolver that resolves an external
identifier through the catalog and loads the URI via an injected closure, so
a catalog plus loader wires entities and DTDs in while the default keeps XXE
closed.
Closes#57Closes#58Closes#27
Add PureXML.Validation.Schematron: compile a Schematron schema (matching
schema/pattern/rule/assert/report by local name, so the ISO and legacy
namespaces both work) and validate a document. A rule's context XPath
selects the nodes it fires on; each assert/report test is evaluated relative
to the node via the XPath context-node API. A failed assert is an error, a
matched report a warning; within a pattern a node fires the first matching
rule. Adds XPath.Query.nodes(over:) returning matched tree nodes so one tree
can be queried repeatedly.
Closes#52Closes#53Closes#25
Add the PureXML.XPointer namespace resolving the shorthand bare-name form
(id), the element() scheme (child-element positions from an id or the
document root), and the xpointer() scheme (a full XPath expression). Scheme
parts chain with the XPointer fallback rule: the first non-empty selection
wins. element() data is translated to the equivalent XPath and evaluated by
PureXML.XPath, so no separate evaluator is needed.
Closes#46Closes#47Closes#23
Add the PureXML.Pattern namespace: a compiler for the streamable XPath
subset (names, *, prefix:*, /, //, leading absolute /, trailing @attr) into
a Matcher, with predicates and . / .. rejected. The backward-matching
algorithm tests an element's ancestor-or-self path. Pattern.matches(_:in:)
streams a document through the pull parser and returns matching node paths
in document order from the open-element stack alone, no tree built.
Closes#44Closes#45Closes#22
Add Query.value(at:position:size:variables:) to evaluate an expression
against a context node already in a tree, with its proximity position, size,
and variable bindings. position(), last(), and the upward axes resolve from
that node. This completes full XPath 1.0: the per-node entry point that
downstream engines (XSLT, Schematron) drive.
Closes#43
Add the string functions (concat, starts-with, contains, substring-before,
substring-after, substring, string-length, normalize-space, translate), the
number functions (sum, floor, ceiling, round), and the node functions
(local-name, name, namespace-uri, id, lang), merged into the evaluation
library. All pure Swift, no Foundation: substring search is hand-rolled.
Without a DTD, id() matches an attribute named id or xml:id.
Closes#41
Compile and evaluate full XPath 1.0 expressions, not just location paths.
Add the four-type Value (node-set, boolean, number, string) with the spec's
coercion rules and canonical number formatting, a recursive-descent parser
for the operator grammar (or/and, equality, relational, additive,
multiplicative, unary minus, union) whose grammatical position disambiguates
* and the operator keywords, function calls, variable references, and filter
expressions. Predicates are now arbitrary expressions (a numeric predicate
is a position test). Comparison follows the node-set quantification rules.
Query gains value/number/string/boolean accessors and a $variable binding
map; the core functions last, position, count, not, true, false, boolean,
number, and string ship with it.
Closes#42
Rebuild the XPath engine on the parent-aware tree. Add an XPath node
abstraction (tree, attribute, namespace) with document order, and navigate
all thirteen axes: child, descendant, parent, ancestor, following-sibling,
preceding-sibling, following, preceding, attribute, namespace, self,
descendant-or-self, ancestor-or-self. Support the ./../@/// abbreviations
and processing-instruction() node tests. Reverse axes number nearest-first
for positional predicates; results return de-duplicated in document order.
The attribute axis excludes xmlns declarations; the namespace axis surfaces
in-scope namespace nodes.
Closes#40
Replace monolithic ci.yml with per-platform workflows so each README badge
tracks one job. Scan commit messages for tool-agnostic AI attribution in CI,
sync local hooks to the canon, and refresh README status plus git-discipline Rule 8.
Add PureXML.Parsing.TextReader (via PureXML.reader), a pull cursor over the
streaming core. read() advances node by node, exposing nodeKind, name,
value, depth, attributes, and isEmptyElement. A childless element is
reported once as an empty element, normalizing <a/> and <a></a>. The
documentType accessor surfaces the DTD read so far as the validation hook.
Closes#33
Add PureXML.Model.TreeNode, a reference-type document tree that knows its
parent and siblings. Navigation goes up and sideways (parent, nextSibling,
previousSibling, ancestors, root, elementChildren, stringValue) and editing
is in place (append, insert before/after, removeFromParent, replace, copy).
Children are held strongly and the parent weakly; attaching a node detaches
it from any prior parent and a node can never become its own ancestor.
parseTree builds one from XML; TreeNode.node converts back for serialization.
Closes#31
Add internal parameter entities (parsed, stored, and expanded within the
DTD, including bare %name; references that inject markup declarations,
bounded by depth and the expansion budget). Record external general
entities and the external subset identifier, and load them only through an
injected EntityResolver (a struct of closures). The default refusing
resolver fetches nothing, so XXE stays closed: an external entity fails as
undefined and the external subset is left unread. Internal declarations win
over the external subset.
Closes#29
Add includeXMLDeclaration, xmlVersion, encodingName, and standalone to
Emitting.Options, with a single shared xmlDeclaration computation consumed
by both the tree serializer and the incremental writer. Writer gains
writeStartDocument(). Defaults stay off so fragment output is unchanged.
Closes#34
Add PureXML.Parsing.XMLCharacter as the single source of truth for character
classes, implementing the exact XML 1.0 (Fifth Edition) Char, NameStartChar, and
NameChar productions as public scalar predicates, plus isValidName. The scanner's
name recognition now delegates to these exact ranges (replacing a loose isLetter
check) and handles precomposed and combining-mark names. Closes#35.
Reimplemented from the XML grammar; no upstream code copied. 4 tests; 98 total.
Decode UTF-32 (both byte orders, BOM or sniffed) and the single-byte encodings
ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252, selected by the XML declaration's encoding name,
in addition to UTF-8 and UTF-16. The streaming byte path also handles UTF-32.
Standard library only, no Foundation. Closes#28. Reimplemented from the
documented encoding algorithms; no upstream code copied. 4 tests; 94 total.
Add PureXML.Emitting.Writer, the libxml2 xmlTextWriter model: emit a document
with writeStartElement/writeAttribute/writeString/writeEndElement and friends,
never building a tree. Escaping is extracted into a shared Emitting.Escaping
helper used by both the writer and the serializer, so compact writer output is
byte-identical to serializing the equivalent tree. Pretty mode indents element
children (forward-only, so prefer compact for mixed content). Closes#32.
Reimplemented from the libxml2 model; no upstream code copied. 6 tests; 90 total.
Add PureXML.Parsing.SAXHandler (a struct of optional callbacks) and
PureXML.parse(_:sax:), which drives the handler from the streaming event core,
delivering start/end document, start/end element, characters, CDATA, comment,
and processing-instruction callbacks. Element names are namespace-resolved.
Closes the SAX2 epic (#19). Reimplemented from the libxml2 SAX2 model; no
upstream code copied. 5 tests; 84 total.
Complete the structural DTD validation layer. AttributeType now distinguishes
the ID family; the validator does a second pass after the structural walk
(since an IDREF may point forward to an ID later in the document):
- ID-typed attribute values must be unique across the document.
- IDREF values must each resolve to a declared ID.
- IDREFS values are split on whitespace and each token must resolve.
Reimplemented from the DTD ID/IDREF spec; no upstream code copied. 4 tests; 79
total.
Surface <!ATTLIST> declarations from the parser and validate attributes against
them. Reimplemented from the DTD attribute-list spec; no upstream code copied.
- DocumentType gains attributeLists (raw ATTLIST bodies per element); the
DoctypeScanner captures them and the EventReader plumbs them through.
- AttributeListParser parses a body into AttributeDeclaration values
(AttributeType: cdata or enumeration; AttributeDefault: required/implied/
fixed/value).
- DTDSchema now checks #REQUIRED presence, #FIXED value match (when present),
and enumerated-value membership, in addition to content models.
- Tokenized types (ID/IDREF/NMTOKEN) parse but are not yet value-enforced.
- 5 attribute tests; 75 total.
Surface the parsed <!DOCTYPE> internal subset's <!ELEMENT> declarations from the
parser and validate a tree against them. Reimplemented from the DTD content-model
spec; no upstream code copied.
- DoctypeScanner captures <!ELEMENT name model> declarations; the parser surfaces
them as Parsing.DocumentType (via parseWithDocumentType).
- Validation.ContentModel + ContentModelParser parse a model string (EMPTY, ANY,
(#PCDATA), mixed, and element content with sequence/choice and ?/*/+).
- ContentModelMatcher matches the child element-name sequence against a model as
a regular language (NFA-position matching).
- Validation.DTDSchema.validate reports issues for EMPTY/PCDATA/mixed violations,
element content with stray text, and child sequences that do not match.
- PureXML.validateAgainstInternalDTD(_:) parses and validates in one call.
- ATTLIST validation is out of scope. 9 tests; 70 total.
Add PureXML.XPath: a compiled location-path query engine reimplemented from the
XPath 1.0 specification; no upstream code copied.
- Compiler parses a path into steps; Evaluator walks the tree returning a
Selection node-set (node or attribute) in document order.
- Forward axes only (child, descendant //, self ., attribute @), since the value
model has no parent pointers. Node tests: name, *, text(), node(), comment().
Predicates: [n], [@a], [@a='v'], [child], [child='v'].
- Public surface: XPath.Query (init compiles, evaluate/elements/strings), the
Selection enum (element / stringValue), QueryError, and the one-shot
PureXML.xpath(_:over:). Upward/sibling axes and the full expression language
are explicitly out of scope.
- 12 XPath tests; 61 total.
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 PureXML.parse(pullingBytes:) and events(pullingBytes:) over an incremental
byte source (() -> UInt8?). StreamingDecoder detects the encoding from the
leading bytes, strips any BOM, and yields one scalar at a time as a Character,
so a byte stream is never fully buffered. UTF-8 (1 to 4 bytes) and UTF-16 (with
surrogate pairs) are decoded incrementally; invalid sequences become the Unicode
replacement character. Standard library only, no Foundation. Reimplemented from
the documented UTF decoding rules; no upstream code copied.
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.
Reimplement the serializer as an explicit work-stack walk instead of recursion,
mirroring libxml2's xmlNodeDumpOutputInternal, so it is no longer the depth
bottleneck. Reimplemented in Swift; no upstream code copied.
Also fix a mixed-content correctness bug: formatting is now suppressed for any
element with text or CDATA children (previously only when ALL children were
text), so pretty-printing never injects whitespace around significant text.
Note surfaced while testing: the remaining depth ceiling is the recursive
Model.Node indirect enum (recursive ARC teardown overflows at extreme depth),
which is why the parser must cap nesting depth (next).
The serializer escaped only & < " in attribute values, so an attribute holding
tab, newline, or carriage return would not survive a spec-compliant parser's
attribute-value normalization. Match the libxml2 attribute escape table: emit
	 for the whitespace characters and > for >. Behavior derived
from the libxml2 analysis (xmlsave.c / xmlIO.c escape tables), reimplemented in
Swift; 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
