// ryml: quickstart
 
/** @addtogroup doc_quickstart
 *
 * Best seen online at https://rapidyaml.readthedocs.io/v0.16.0/doxygen/
 *
 * This file does a quick tour of ryml. It has multiple self-contained
 * and well-commented samples that illustrate how to use ryml, and how
 * it works.
 *
 * Although this is not a unit test, the samples are written as a
 * sequence of actions and predicate checks to better convey what is
 * the expected result at any stage. And to ensure the code here is
 * correct and up to date, it's also run as part of the CI tests.
 *
 * If something is unclear, please open an issue or send a pull
 * request at https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml . If you have an
 * issue while using ryml, it is also encouraged to try to reproduce
 * the issue here, or look first through the relevant section.
 *
 * Happy ryml'ing!
 *
 *
 * ### Note on use of raw strings
 *
 * This sample uses multiline C strings instead of C++11 R"(raw
 * strings)" because the doxygen parser is badly broken when handling
 * raw strings.
 *
 *
 * ### Some guidance on building
 *
 * The directories that exist side-by-side with this file contain
 * several examples on how to build this with cmake, such that you can
 * hit the ground running. See [the relevant section of the main
 * README](https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml/tree/v0.16.0?tab=readme-ov-file#quickstart-samples)
 * for an overview of the different choices. I suggest starting first
 * with the `add_subdirectory` example, treating it just like any
 * other self-contained cmake project.
 *
 * Or very quickly, to build and run this sample on your PC, start by
 * creating this `CMakeLists.txt`:
 *
 * @code{cmake}
 * cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.13)
 * project(ryml-quickstart LANGUAGES CXX)
 * include(FetchContent)
 * FetchContent_Declare(ryml
 *     GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml.git
 *     GIT_TAG v0.16.0
 * )
 * FetchContent_MakeAvailable(ryml)
 * add_executable(ryml-quickstart ${ryml_SOURCE_DIR}/samples/quickstart.cpp)
 * target_link_libraries(ryml-quickstart ryml::ryml)
 * add_custom_target(run ryml-quickstart
 *     COMMAND $<TARGET_FILE:ryml-quickstart>
 *     DEPENDS ryml-quickstart
 *     COMMENT "running: $<TARGET_FILE:ryml-quickstart>")
 * @endcode
 *
 * Now run the following commands in the same folder:
 *
 * @code{bash}
 * # configure the project
 * cmake -B build
 * # build and run
 * cmake --build build --target run -j
 * # optionally, open in your IDE
 * cmake --open build
 * @endcode
 *

    //------------------------------------------------------------------
    // API overview
 
    // The ryml tree has a two-level API:
    //
    // The lower level index API is based on the indices of nodes,
    // where the node's id is the node's position in the tree's data
    // array. This API is very efficient, but somewhat difficult to use:
    ryml::id_type root_id = tree.root_id();
    ryml::id_type bar_id = tree.find_child(root_id, "bar"); // need to get the index right
    CHECK(tree.is_map(root_id)); // all of the index methods are in the tree
    CHECK(tree.is_seq(bar_id));  // ... and receive the subject index
 
    // The node API is a lightweight abstraction sitting on top of the
    // index API, but offering a much more convenient interaction:
    ryml::ConstNodeRef root = tree.rootref();  // a const node reference
    ryml::ConstNodeRef bar = tree["bar"];
    CHECK(root.is_map());
    CHECK(bar.is_seq());
 
    // A node ref is a lightweight handle to the tree and associated id:
    CHECK(root.tree() == &tree); // a node ref points at its tree, WITHOUT refcount
    CHECK(root.id() == root_id); // a node ref's id is the index of the node
    CHECK(bar.id() == bar_id);   // a node ref's id is the index of the node
 
    // The node API translates very cleanly to the index API, so most
    // of the code examples below are using the node API.
 
    // WARNING. A node ref holds a raw pointer to the tree. Care must
    // be taken to ensure the lifetimes match, so that a node will
    // never access the tree after the tree goes out of scope.
 
 
    //------------------------------------------------------------------
    // To read the parsed tree
 
    // ConstNodeRef::operator[] does a lookup, is O(num_children[node]).
    CHECK(tree["foo"].is_keyval());

    CHECK(bar[1].val() == "3"); // 1 means second child of bar
    // NodeRef::operator[](string):
    // A string key is the key of the node: lookup is by name. So it
    // is only available for maps, and it is NOT available for seqs,
    // since seq members do not have keys.
    CHECK(tree["foo"].key() == "foo");
    CHECK(tree["bar"].key() == "bar");
    CHECK(tree["john"].key() == "john");
    CHECK(bar.is_seq());
    // CHECK(bar["BOOM!"].is_seed()); // error, seqs do not have key lookup
 
    // Note that maps can also use index keys as well as string keys:
    CHECK(root["foo"].id() == root[0].id());
    CHECK(root["bar"].id() == root[1].id());
    CHECK(root["john"].id() == root[2].id());
 
    // IMPORTANT. The ryml tree uses an index-based linked list for
    // storing children, so the complexity of
    // `Tree::operator[csubstr]` and `Tree::operator[id_type]` is O(n),
    // linear on the number of root children. If you use
    // `Tree::operator[]` with a large tree where the root has many
    // children, you will see a performance hit.
    //
    // To avoid this hit, you can create your own accelerator
    // structure. For example, before doing a lookup, do a single
    // traverse at the root level to fill an `map<csubstr,id_type>`
    // mapping key names to node indices; with a node index, a lookup
    // (via `Tree::get()`) is O(1), so this way you can get O(log n)
    // lookup from a key. (But please do not use `std::map` if you
    // care about performance; use something else like a flat map or
    // sorted vector).
    //
    // As for node refs, the difference from `NodeRef::operator[]` and
    // `ConstNodeRef::operator[]` to `Tree::operator[]` is that the
    // latter refers to the root node, whereas the former are invoked
    // on their target node. But the lookup process works the same for

    // Gotchas:
 
    // ryml uses assertions to prevent you from trying to obtain
    // things that do not exist. For example:
 
    {
        ryml::ConstNodeRef seq_node = tree["bar"];
        ryml::ConstNodeRef val_node = seq_node[0];
 
        CHECK(seq_node.is_seq());          // seq is a container
        CHECK(!seq_node.has_val());        // ... so it has no val
        //CHECK(seq_node.val() == BOOM!);  // ... so attempting to get a val is undefined behavior
 
        CHECK(val_node.parent() == seq_node); // belongs to a seq
        CHECK(!val_node.has_key());           // ... so it has no key
        //CHECK(val_node.key() == BOOM!);     // ... so attempting to get a key is undefined behavior
 
        CHECK(val_node.is_val());                 // this node is a val
        //CHECK(val_node.first_child() == BOOM!); // ... so attempting to get a child is undefined behavior
 
        // assertions are also present in methods that /may/ read the val:
        CHECK(seq_node.is_seq());              // seq is a container
        //CHECK(seq_node.val_is_null() BOOM!); // so cannot get the val to check
    }
 
    // By default, assertions are enabled unless the NDEBUG macro is
    // defined (which happens in release builds).
    //
    // This adheres to the pay-only-for-what-you-use philosophy: if
    // you are sure that your intent is correct, why would you need to
    // pay the runtime cost for the assertions?
    //
    // The downside, of course, is that you may be unsure, or your
    // code may be wrong; and then release builds may end up doing
    // something wrong.
    //
    // So in that case, you can use the appropriate ryml predicates to
    // check your intent (as in the examples above), or you can
    // explicitly enable/disable assertions, by defining the macro
    // RYML_USE_ASSERT to a proper value (see c4/yml/common.hpp). This
    // will make problematic code trigger a call to the appropriate
    // error callback.
    //
    // Also, to be clear, this does not apply to parse errors
    // occurring when the YAML is parsed. Parse errors are always
    // detected by the parser: this is not done through assertions,
    // but through the appropriate error checking mechanism. So
    // checking for these errors is always enabled and cannot be
    // switched off. As for deserialization errors, see below.

    //
    //   - use .load(T*)/.load_key(T*) for lazy code with checked reads

    //      - ryml checks deserialization, or triggers error
    //      - more expensive because of all the checks and error marshalling
    //      - optionally, can disable precondition checks with bool parameter

/** demonstrate usage of ryml::substr and ryml::csubstr
 *
 * These types are imported from the c4core library into the ryml
 * namespace You may have noticed above the use of a `csubstr`
 * class. This class is defined in another library,
 * [c4core](https://github.com/biojppm/c4core), which is imported by
 * ryml. This is a library I use with my projects consisting of
 * multiplatform low-level utilities. One of these is `c4::csubstr`
 * (the name comes from "constant substring") which is a non-owning
 * read-only string view, with many methods that make it practical to
 * use (I would certainly argue more practical than `std::string`). In
 * fact, `c4::csubstr` and its writeable counterpart `c4::substr` are
 * the workhorses of the ryml parsing and serialization code.

 * leading or trailing whitespace, or if in flow mode it cannot have
 * comma followed by space).
 *
 * @note When the scalar is not marked with an explicit style, the

 *
 * @note For containers, setting the style does not offer an emit

// Regardless, it needs to gracefully handle bad YAML data, so we must
// check every step. We use .deserialize_child() which will look for a
// child by key, and deserialize that child, returning the deserialize
// result. If no such child exists, it returns a read result reporting
// the node (not the child). .deserialize_child() also works with
// indices, simplifying the implementation of fixed-size seqs.

// Note also how each step is predicated on the latest result. This

/** demonstrates usage with anchors and alias references.
 
Note that dereferencing is opt-in; after parsing, you have to call
@ref c4::yml::Tree::resolve() explicitly if you want resolved
references in the tree. This method will resolve all references and
substitute the anchored values in place of the reference.
 
The @ref c4::yml::Tree::resolve() method first does a full traversal
of the tree to gather all anchors and references in a separate
collection, then it goes through that collection to locate the names,
which it does by obeying the YAML standard diktat that
 
    > an alias node refers to the most recent node in
    > the serialization having the specified anchor
 
So, depending on the number of anchor/alias nodes, this is a
potentially expensive operation, with a best-case linear complexity
(from the initial traversal) and a worst-case quadratic complexity (if
every node has an alias/anchor). This potential cost is the reason for
requiring an explicit call to @ref c4::yml::Tree::resolve() */

// To avoid imposing a particular type of error handling, ryml uses

// setjmp()/longjmp(), or plain calls to abort(), as they see fit.
//
// However, it is important to note that the error callbacks must never
// return to the caller! Otherwise, an infinite loop or program crash
// will likely occur.
//
// For this reason, to recover from an error when exceptions are disabled,
// then a non-local jump must be performed using setjmp()/longjmp().
// The code below demonstrates both flows.
//
// ryml provides default error handlers, which call

// handler throw an exception instead.

// Please note the following about the use of custom allocators with
// ryml. Due to [the static initialization order
// fiasco](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/siof), if you
// use static ryml trees or parsers, you need to make sure that their
// callbacks have the same lifetime. So you can't use ryml's default
// callbacks structure, as it is declared in a ryml file, and the standard
// provides no guarantee on the relative initialization order, such
// that it is constructed before and destroyed after your
// variables. In fact you are pretty much guaranteed to see this
// fail. So please carefully consider your choices, and ponder
// whether you really need to use ryml static trees and parsers. If
// you do need this, then you will need to declare and use a ryml
// callbacks structure that outlives the tree and/or parser.
//
// See also sample_static_trees() for an example on how to use
// trees with static lifetime.
