Mihaela Mihaljevic 708390242c chore: scaffold PureXML pure-Swift XML package
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

# Contributing to PureXML
Thanks for your interest in PureXML.
By participating you agree to the [Code of Conduct](CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md).
## Project Shape
PureXML is a root Swift package:
```text
PureXML/
├── Package.swift
├── Sources/
├── Tests/
├── docs/
└── scripts/
```
Do not create a `Packages/` folder for this repo.
## Rules
- Pure Swift only.
- No external SwiftPM dependencies.
- No C-backed parser target in the public package.
- Every public type lives under the `PureXML` namespace tree.
- Build and test on macOS, Linux, and WASI.
## Setup
```sh
git config core.hooksPath .githooks
swift build
swift test
```
Install SwiftFormat and SwiftLint if they are not already available:
```sh
brew install swiftformat swiftlint
```
## Verification
Before opening a PR or saying a change is ready, run:
```sh
bash scripts/check-style.sh
bash scripts/check-namespacing.sh
swiftformat . --config .swiftformat --lint
swiftlint --config .swiftlint.yml --strict
swift build
swift test
```
## Commits
Use Conventional Commits:
```text

```
Examples:
- `feat(parser): add element start-tag scanning`
- `test(emitter): cover attribute escaping`
- `ci(wasm): add wasi build gate`
