fsprojects/Zander

Zander is a .NET library that serves as a parsing engine for defining and matching structured data formats, such as CSV. It provides a builder API for composing block parsers and utilizes a standard Result type for error handling. The system supports both F\# and C\# implementations and includes comprehensive test coverage for its matching logic.

Zander has been converted to .NET Core (targeting netstandard2.0) and restructured using the fsprojects scaffold. This release introduces several behavioral changes: the Builder now uses BlockEx, the obsolete attribute has been removed from the Builder, and the library now uses the standard Result type instead of homegrown alternatives. Additionally, the Matches method has been renamed to Engine to better reflect its role as a match engine.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The Zander library has been restructured using F\# project scaffolding, introducing a new public API surface centered on the \BlockEx\ type for matching matrix blocks and a \ParserBuilder\ for composing multiple block parsers. The library version has been bumped to 3.0.0, and the project now includes a complete documentation site with a tutorial and API reference generated from F\# source files.

docsrc, src/Zander · high confidence

Added a comprehensive test suite for the Zander library, covering both C\# and F\# implementations. The tests validate the BlockEx and RowEx parsing capabilities, including matching simple and complex formats, handling repeated rows, splitting blocks, and interpreting format expressions. Test coverage includes unit tests for the parsing engine, builder logic, and real-world CSV format parsing scenarios.

The repository is initialized with a .NET Core solution structure, introducing Paket for dependency management via new \paket.dependencies\ and \paket.lock\ files. The core library (\Zander\) is scaffolded as a multi-target project supporting .NET Standard 2.0, .NET Framework 4.6.1, and 4.5. Test projects for both F\# (\Zander.Tests\) and C\# (\CSharp.Tests\) are added, targeting .NET Core 2.1 and referencing the core library, establishing the foundational build and test infrastructure.
