Realtin.Xdsl 1.3.1

Realtin.Xdsl

A lightweight, high-performance XML-like Domain Specific Language (XDSL) library for .NET.

Features

• Fast and memory-efficient XDSL document parsing and writing
• Support for elements, attributes, tags, and comments
• Resource loading capabilities
• Streaming support for large documents
• Indented and non-indented output formats
• Async operations support
• Docker integration ready
• Benchmarking tools included

Project Structure

The solution consists of three main projects:

• Realtin.Xdsl: Core library containing the base XDSL implementation
• Realtin.Xdsl.Experimental: Extended features and experimental implementations
• Realtin.Xdsl.Lab: Benchmarking and testing project for performance analysis

Getting Started

Installation

Add a reference to the Realtin.Xdsl package in your project:

dotnet add package Realtin.Xdsl

Or

<PackageReference Include="Realtin.Xdsl" Version="1.2.0" />

Basic Usage

// Create a new XDSL document
var document = new XdslDocument();

// Create and add elements 
document.CreateElement("Person", person => {
    person.CreateElement("FirstName", x => x.Text = "Java");
    person.CreateElement("LastName", x => x.Text = "Script");
    person.CreateElement("Age", x => x.Text = "30");
});

// Write document to string 
var prettyOutput = document.WriteToString(writeIndented: true);

Console.WriteLine(prettyOutput);

Serialize an Object to Xdsl

using Realtin.Xdsl;
using Realtin.Xdsl.Serialization;

var user = new
{
    Name = "User",
    Email = "user@example.com",
    Age = 20
};

var document = XdslSerializer.Serialize(user);
Console.WriteLine(document.WriteToString(writeIndented: true));

Output:

<User>
  <Name>Realtin</Name>
  <Email>realtin@example.com</Email>
  <Age>20</Age>
</User>

XQL Queries

var usersResult = XqlExpression
    .Compile(@"WHERE X:NAME == ""User"" SELECT")
    .Execute(doc, XqlPermissions.Read);

if (usersResult.TryCast<IEnumerable<XdslElement>>(out var users)) {
    foreach (var user in users) {
        Console.WriteLine(user.Text);
    }
}

Key Components

XdslElement

Base class for all XDSL elements, supporting:

• Hierarchical node structure
• Attribute management
• Resource loading
• Text content

XdslDocument

Represents an XDSL document with capabilities for:

• Loading and saving documents
• Managing document structure
• Version control
• Document type specification

XdslTextWriter

Provides efficient writing capabilities with:

• Indented output support
• Streaming capabilities
• StringBuilder integration
• Performance optimizations

Performance

The library is designed with performance in mind:

• Aggressive inlining of critical methods
• Minimal allocations
• Optional pooling for frequently used objects
• Optimized string operations

Performance Benchmarks
