//! astroceleste-engine: astrological chart calculation on JPL ephemerides.
//!
//! One implementation shared by the Astroceleste server (Python bindings), desktop and
//! mobile apps (native) and the web app (WASM), so every platform computes identical charts.
//!
//! **Experimental (0.0.x):** the API may change in any release.
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use astroceleste_engine::ephemeris::{Kernel, KernelSet, Spk};
//! use astroceleste_engine::{calculate_chart, ChartRequest, UtcInstant};
//!
//! # fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! // Kernels in preference order: the first one covering a date is used.
//! let mut kernels = KernelSet::new();
//! kernels.push(Kernel::new("de440s.bsp", Spk::open("kernels/de440s.bsp")?)?);
//!
//! let mut request = ChartRequest::new(UtcInstant::parse("1987-05-17T14:30:00Z")?, 41.9, 12.5);
//! request.house_system = "P";
//! request.zodiac_type = "sidereal";
//! request.ayanamsa = "lahiri";
//!
//! let chart = calculate_chart(&kernels, &request)?;
//! println!("{}", serde_json::to_string_pretty(&chart)?);
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! # Entry points
//!
//! | Function | Result |
//! |---|---|
//! | [`calculate_chart`] | a natal or event [`Chart`]: planets (the seven with their [`Condition`]), houses, aspects, fixed stars, lots, temperament, lunar status, sect, [`Reception`]s, antiscia, planetary hours |
//! | [`calculate_horary_chart`] | the chart plus [`HoraryData`]: planetary hours, the Moon's aspects, strictures and the [`Judgment`] (significators, perfection, prohibition, translation, collection) |
//! | [`calculate_transit_chart`] | the sky at a moment and place, with its [`CrossAspect`]s to natal planets |
//! | [`calculate_synastry`] | cross-aspects between two charts' planets (no kernel needed) |
//! | [`calculate_derived_chart`] | a stored chart turned to a new first house (no kernel needed) |
//! | [`calculate_election_chart`] | the chart plus [`ElectionData`]: an electional score with the rules that apply |
//! | [`search_elections`] | the best [`ElectionWindow`]s over a span of time at a place |
//! | [`degree_qualities`] | Lilly's [`DegreeQualities`] of the degree a longitude falls in (no kernel needed) |
//! | [`chart_dignities`] | a computed chart's [`Condition`]s and [`Reception`]s judged again under the Lilly or Dorothean scheme (no kernel needed) |
//! | [`time_lords`] | the annual [`Profection`]s and [`Firdaria`] of a nativity over a span of time (no kernel needed) |
//! | [`chinese_calendar`] | the [`ChineseCalendar`] around a moment: solar terms, lunar months, equation of time (also on a chart, with [`ChartRequest::chinese_calendar`]) |
//! | [`bazi`] | the Four Pillars ([`Bazi`]) of a birth from its Chinese calendar: hidden stems, Ten Gods, NaYin, element balance, luck pillars (no kernel needed) |
//! | [`zi_wei`] | the Zi Wei Dou Shu chart ([`ZiWei`]) of a birth from its Chinese calendar: palaces, bureau, the 14 major and 14 auxiliary stars with brightness, the Four Transformations, minor stars and cycles of gods, flying transformations, decade and small limits and a year's horoscope (no kernel needed) |
//! | [`jyotish`] | the Vedic reading ([`Jyotish`]) of a chart: sidereal placements with their [`Nakshatra`]s, the divisional charts D1-D60 and the Vimshottari dasha (no kernel needed) |
//! | [`vedic_calendar`] | the panchanga ([`VedicCalendar`]) of a moment and place: sunrise, vara, tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, lunar month, samvatsara (also on a chart, with [`ChartRequest::vedic_calendar`]) |
//!
//! Every result implements [`serde::Serialize`] and serializes to the JSON of the
//! Astroceleste API, with the same key order and the same integer vs float types. The
//! Python and WebAssembly bindings return exactly that JSON.
//!
//! # Loading kernels
//!
//! Positions come from NASA JPL SPK kernels (`de440s.bsp` covers 1849–2150; DE441 covers
//! 13200 BC–17191). A [`KernelSet`](ephemeris::KernelSet) holds them in preference order,
//! and each date is computed with the first kernel that covers it. [`Spk::open`] reads a
//! file. Where there is no file system (WebAssembly) or the kernel is bundled with an app,
//! load the bytes and use [`Spk::from_bytes`]. [`Spk::excerpt`] cuts a smaller kernel for a
//! date range, with positions unchanged inside it (1950–2050 of DE440s is about 11 MB).
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use astroceleste_engine::ephemeris::{Kernel, KernelSet, Spk};
//!
//! # fn download(_: &str) -> Vec<u8> { Vec::new() }
//! # fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! let bytes: Vec<u8> = download("https://example.com/de440s-1950-2050.bsp");
//! let mut kernels = KernelSet::new();
//! kernels.push(Kernel::new("de440s-1950-2050.bsp", Spk::from_bytes(bytes)?)?);
//! assert!(kernels.coverage().is_some());
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! # Errors
//!
//! Calculations return [`EngineError`], whose [`code`](EngineError::code) is the stable
//! error code of the Astroceleste API. A date that no loaded kernel covers is
//! [`EngineError::OutOfRange`]: the engine never extrapolates or approximates.
//!
//! ```no_run
//! # use astroceleste_engine::ephemeris::KernelSet;
//! # use astroceleste_engine::{calculate_chart, ChartRequest, EngineError, UtcInstant};
//! # fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! # let kernels = KernelSet::new();
//! let request = ChartRequest::new(UtcInstant::parse("1700-01-01T00:00:00Z")?, 41.9, 12.5);
//! match calculate_chart(&kernels, &request) {
//!     Ok(chart) => println!("{} planets", chart.planets.len()),
//!     Err(EngineError::OutOfRange { jd, coverage }) => {
//!         eprintln!("JD {jd} is outside the loaded kernels ({coverage:?})")
//!     }
//!     Err(err) => eprintln!("{}: {err}", err.code()),
//! }
//! # Ok(())
//! # }
//! ```
//!
//! # Platforms
//!
//! The crate is pure Rust with no C code, and depends only on `serde` and `serde_json`.
//! It builds for servers and desktops, `wasm32-unknown-unknown`, Android and iOS. Python
//! (`pip install astroceleste-engine`) and JavaScript (`npm install astroceleste-engine`)
//! bindings are published from the same repository.
