/*!
BGPKIT Parser aims to provide the most ergonomic MRT/BGP/BMP message parsing Rust API.

BGPKIT Parser has the following features:
- **performant**: comparable to C-based implementations like `bgpdump` or `bgpreader`.
- **actively maintained**: we consistently introduce feature updates and bug fixes, and support most of the relevant BGP RFCs.
- **ergonomic API**: a three-line for loop can already get you started.
- **battery-included**: ready to handle remote or local, bzip2 or gz data files out of the box

# Getting Started

Add `bgpkit-parser` to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
bgpkit-parser = "0.12"
```

Parse a BGP MRT file in three lines:

```no_run
use bgpkit_parser::BgpkitParser;

for elem in BgpkitParser::new("http://archive.routeviews.org/route-views4/bgpdata/2022.01/UPDATES/updates.20220101.0000.bz2").unwrap() {
    println!("{}", elem);
}
```

# Examples

The examples below are organized by complexity. For complete runnable examples, check out the [examples folder](https://github.com/bgpkit/bgpkit-parser/tree/main/examples).

## Basic Examples

### Parsing a Single MRT File

Let's say we want to print out all the BGP announcements/withdrawal from a single MRT file, either located remotely or locally.
Here is an example that does so.

```no_run
use bgpkit_parser::BgpkitParser;
let parser = BgpkitParser::new("http://archive.routeviews.org/bgpdata/2021.10/UPDATES/updates.20211001.0000.bz2").unwrap();
for elem in parser {
    println!("{}", elem)
}
```

Yes, it is this simple!

### Counting BGP Messages

You can use iterator methods for quick analysis. For example, counting the number of announcements/withdrawals in a file:

```no_run
use bgpkit_parser::BgpkitParser;
let url = "http://archive.routeviews.org/bgpdata/2021.10/UPDATES/updates.20211001.0000.bz2";
let count = BgpkitParser::new(url).unwrap().into_iter().count();
println!("total: {}", count);
```

Output:
```text
total: 255849
```

## Intermediate Examples

### Filtering BGP Messages

BGPKIT Parser has a built-in [Filter] mechanism to efficiently filter messages. Add filters when creating the parser to only process matching [BgpElem]s.

**Available filter types**: See the [Filter] enum documentation for all options.

```no_run
use bgpkit_parser::BgpkitParser;

/// Filter by IP prefix
let parser = BgpkitParser::new("http://archive.routeviews.org/bgpdata/2021.10/UPDATES/updates.20211001.0000.bz2").unwrap()
    .add_filter("prefix", "211.98.251.0/24").unwrap();

for elem in parser {
    println!("{}", elem);
}
```

**Common filters**:
- `prefix`: Match a specific IP prefix
- `origin_asn`: Match origin AS number
- `peer_asn`: Match peer AS number
- `peer_ip`: Match peer IP address
- `elem_type`: Filter by announcement (`a`) or withdrawal (`w`)
- `as_path`: Match AS path with regex

### Parsing Multiple MRT Files with BGPKIT Broker

[BGPKIT Broker][broker-repo] library provides search API for all RouteViews and RIPE RIS MRT data files. Using the
broker's Rust API ([`bgpkit-broker`][broker-crates-io]), we can easily compile a list of MRT files that we are interested
in for any time period and any data type (`update` or `rib`). This allows users to gather information without needing to
know about the locations of specific data files.

[broker-repo]: https://github.com/bgpkit/bgpkit-broker
[broker-crates-io]: https://crates.io/crates/bgpkit-broker

The example below shows a relatively more interesting example that does the following:
- find all BGP archive data created on time 1634693400
- filter to only BGP updates files
- find all announcements originated from AS13335
- print out the total count of the announcements

```no_run
use bgpkit_parser::{BgpkitParser, BgpElem};

let broker = bgpkit_broker::BgpkitBroker::new()
    .ts_start("1634693400")
    .ts_end("1634693400")
    .page(1);

for item in broker.into_iter().take(2) {
    log::info!("downloading updates file: {}", &item.url);
    let parser = BgpkitParser::new(item.url.as_str()).unwrap();

    log::info!("parsing updates file");
    // iterating through the parser. the iterator returns `BgpElem` one at a time.
    let elems = parser
        .into_elem_iter()
        .filter_map(|elem| {
            if let Some(origins) = &elem.origin_asns {
                if origins.contains(&13335.into()) {
                    Some(elem)
                } else {
                    None
                }
            } else {
                None
            }
        })
        .collect::<Vec<BgpElem>>();
    log::info!("{} elems matches", elems.len());
}
```

### Error Handling

BGPKIT Parser returns `Result` types for operations that may fail. Here are common scenarios and how to handle them:

**Handling Parser Creation Errors**

```no_run
use bgpkit_parser::BgpkitParser;

// The URL might be invalid or unreachable
match BgpkitParser::new("http://example.com/data.mrt.bz2") {
    Ok(parser) => {
        for elem in parser {
            println!("{}", elem);
        }
    }
    Err(e) => {
        eprintln!("Failed to create parser: {}", e);
        // Common causes:
        // - Invalid URL or file path
        // - Network connection issues
        // - Unsupported compression format
    }
}
```

**Handling Filter Errors**

```no_run
use bgpkit_parser::BgpkitParser;

let mut parser = BgpkitParser::new("http://example.com/data.mrt.bz2").unwrap();

// Filter addition can fail with invalid input
match parser.add_filter("prefix", "invalid-prefix") {
    Ok(_) => println!("Filter added successfully"),
    Err(e) => {
        eprintln!("Invalid filter: {}", e);
        // Common causes:
        // - Invalid IP prefix format
        // - Invalid AS number
        // - Unknown filter type
    }
}
```

**Robust Production Code**

```no_run
use bgpkit_parser::BgpkitParser;

fn process_mrt_file(url: &str) -> Result<usize, Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let parser = BgpkitParser::new(url)?
        .add_filter("origin_asn", "13335")?;

    let mut count = 0;
    for elem in parser {
        // Process element
        count += 1;
    }

    Ok(count)
}

// Usage
match process_mrt_file("http://example.com/updates.bz2") {
    Ok(count) => println!("Processed {} elements", count),
    Err(e) => eprintln!("Error: {}", e),
}
```

## Advanced Examples

### Parsing Real-time Data Streams

BGPKIT Parser provides parsing for real-time data streams, including [RIS-Live][ris-live-url]
and [BMP][bmp-rfc]/[OpenBMP][openbmp-url] messages.

**Parsing Messages From RIS-Live**

Here is an example of handling RIS-Live message streams. After connecting to the websocket server,
we need to subscribe to a specific data stream. In this example, we subscribe to the data stream
from on collector (`rrc21`). We can then loop and read messages from the websocket.

```no_run
# #[cfg(feature = "rislive")]
use bgpkit_parser::parse_ris_live_message;
use serde_json::json;
use tungstenite::{connect, Message};

const RIS_LIVE_URL: &str = "ws://ris-live.ripe.net/v1/ws/?client=rust-bgpkit-parser";

/// This is an example of subscribing to RIS-Live's streaming data from one host (`rrc21`).
///
/// For more RIS-Live details, check out their documentation at https://ris-live.ripe.net/manual/
fn main() {
    // connect to RIPE RIS Live websocket server
    let (mut socket, _response) =
        connect(RIS_LIVE_URL)
            .expect("Can't connect to RIS Live websocket server");

    // subscribe to messages from one collector
    let msg = json!({"type": "ris_subscribe", "data": {"host": "rrc21"}}).to_string();
    socket.send(Message::Text(msg.into())).unwrap();

    loop {
        let msg = socket.read().expect("Error reading message").to_string();
#       #[cfg(feature = "rislive")]
        if let Ok(elems) = parse_ris_live_message(msg.as_str()) {
            for elem in elems {
                println!("{}", elem);
            }
        }
    }
}
```

**Parsing OpenBMP Messages From RouteViews Kafka Stream**

[RouteViews](http://www.routeviews.org/routeviews/) provides a real-time Kafka stream of the OpenBMP
data received from their collectors. Below is a partial example of how we handle the raw bytes
received from the Kafka stream. For full examples, check out the [examples folder on GitHub](https://github.com/bgpkit/bgpkit-parser/tree/main/examples).

```rust,no_run
# use log::{info, error};
# use bytes::Bytes;
# struct KafkaMessage { value: Vec<u8> }
# let m = KafkaMessage { value: vec![] };
use bgpkit_parser::parser::bmp::messages::*;
use bgpkit_parser::parser::utils::*;
use bgpkit_parser::{Elementor, parse_openbmp_header, parse_bmp_msg};

let bytes = &m.value;
let mut data = Bytes::from(bytes.clone());
let header = parse_openbmp_header(&mut data).unwrap();
let bmp_msg = parse_bmp_msg(&mut data);
match bmp_msg {
    Ok(msg) => {
        let timestamp = header.timestamp;
        let per_peer_header = msg.per_peer_header.unwrap();
        match msg.message_body {
            BmpMessageBody::RouteMonitoring(m) => {
                for elem in Elementor::bgp_to_elems(
                    m.bgp_message,
                    timestamp,
                    &per_peer_header.peer_ip,
                    &per_peer_header.peer_asn
                )
                {
                    info!("{}", elem);
                }
            }
            _ => {}
        }
    }
    Err(_e) => {
        let hex = hex::encode(bytes);
        error!("{}", hex);
    }
}
```

### Encoding: Archiving Filtered MRT Records

The example will download one MRT file from RouteViews, filter out all the BGP messages that
are not originated from AS3356, and write the filtered MRT records to disk. Then it re-parses the
filtered MRT file and prints out the number of BGP messages.

```no_run
use bgpkit_parser::Elementor;
use itertools::Itertools;
use std::io::Write;

let mut updates_encoder = bgpkit_parser::encoder::MrtUpdatesEncoder::new();

bgpkit_parser::BgpkitParser::new(
    "http://archive.routeviews.org/bgpdata/2023.10/UPDATES/updates.20231029.2015.bz2",
).unwrap()
    .add_filter("origin_asn", "3356").unwrap()
    .into_iter()
    .for_each(|elem| {
        updates_encoder.process_elem(&elem);
    });

let mut mrt_writer = oneio::get_writer("as3356_mrt.gz").unwrap();
mrt_writer.write_all(updates_encoder.export_bytes().as_ref()).unwrap();
drop(mrt_writer);
```

# FAQ & Troubleshooting

## Common Issues

### Parser creation fails with "unsupported compression"
**Problem**: The file uses an unsupported compression format.

**Solution**: BGPKIT Parser natively supports `.bz2` and `.gz` compression. For other formats, decompress the file first or use the [`oneio`](https://crates.io/crates/oneio) crate which supports additional formats.

### Out of memory when parsing large files
**Problem**: Collecting all elements into a vector exhausts available memory.

**Solution**: Use streaming iteration instead of collecting:
```rust,ignore
// ❌ Don't do this for large files
let all_elems: Vec<_> = parser.into_iter().collect();

// ✅ Process iteratively
for elem in parser {
    // Process one element at a time
    process(elem);
}
```

### Slow performance on network files
**Problem**: Remote file parsing is slower than expected.

**Solution**:
- Use the `--cache-dir` option in CLI to cache downloaded files
- In library code, download the file first with appropriate buffering
- Consider processing files in parallel if dealing with multiple files

### Missing or incomplete BGP attributes
**Problem**: Some [BgpElem] fields are `None` when you expect values.

**Solution**: Not all BGP messages contain all attributes. Check the MRT format and BGP message type:
- Withdrawals typically don't have AS paths or communities
- Some collectors may not export certain attributes
- Use pattern matching to handle `Option` types properly

## Performance Tips

### Use filters early
Apply filters during parser creation to avoid processing unwanted data:
```rust,ignore
// ✅ Efficient - filters during parsing
let parser = BgpkitParser::new(url)?
    .add_filter("prefix", "1.1.1.0/24")?;

// ❌ Less efficient - processes everything first
let filtered: Vec<_> = BgpkitParser::new(url)?
    .into_iter()
    .filter(|e| e.prefix.to_string() == "1.1.1.0/24")
    .collect();
```

### Process multiple files in parallel
For bulk processing, use parallel iterators:
```rust,ignore
use rayon::prelude::*;

let files = vec!["file1.mrt.bz2", "file2.mrt.bz2", "file3.mrt.bz2"];
files.par_iter().for_each(|file| {
    let parser = BgpkitParser::new(file).unwrap();
    // Process each file in parallel
});
```

### Choose the right data structure
- Use [MrtRecord] iteration for minimal memory overhead
- Use [BgpElem] for easier per-prefix analysis
- See [Data Representation](#data-representation) for detailed comparison

```

## [MrtRecord]: Low-level MRT Representation

[MrtRecord] preserves the complete, unmodified information from the MRT file. Use this when you need:
- **Raw MRT data access**: Direct access to all MRT fields
- **Format-specific details**: Peer index tables, geo-location data, etc.
- **Memory efficiency**: Minimal overhead, compact representation
- **Re-encoding**: Converting back to MRT format

See the [MrtRecord] documentation for the complete structure definition.

**Key components**:
- `common_header`: Contains timestamp, record type, and metadata
- `message`: The actual MRT message (TableDump, TableDumpV2, or Bgp4Mp)

**Iteration**: Use [`BgpkitParser::into_record_iter()`] to iterate over [MrtRecord]s.

## [BgpElem]: High-level Per-Prefix Representation

[BgpElem] provides a simplified, per-prefix view of BGP data. Each [BgpElem] represents a single prefix announcement or withdrawal. Use this when you want:
- **Simple analysis**: Focus on prefixes without worrying about MRT format details
- **Format-agnostic processing**: Same structure regardless of MRT format
- **BGP attributes**: Easy access to AS path, communities, etc.

**Example transformation**:
```text
MRT Record with 3 prefixes        →        3 BgpElem objects
┌────────────────────────┐              ┌──────────────────┐
│ BGP UPDATE Message     │              │ BgpElem          │
│ AS Path: 64512 64513   │  ────────>   │ prefix: P1       │
│ Prefixes:              │              │ as_path: 64512.. │
│   - P1: 10.0.0.0/24    │              └──────────────────┘
│   - P2: 10.0.1.0/24    │              ┌──────────────────┐
│   - P3: 10.0.2.0/24    │  ────────>   │ BgpElem          │
└────────────────────────┘              │ prefix: P2       │
                                        │ as_path: 64512.. │
                                        └──────────────────┘
                                        ┌──────────────────┐
                                        │ BgpElem          │
                            ────────>   │ prefix: P3       │
                                        │ as_path: 64512.. │
                                        └──────────────────┘
```

See the [BgpElem] documentation for the complete structure definition.

**Key fields**:
- `timestamp`: Unix timestamp of the BGP message
- `elem_type`: Announcement or withdrawal
- `peer_ip` / `peer_asn`: The BGP peer information
- `prefix`: The IP prefix being announced or withdrawn
- `as_path`: The AS path attribute (if present)
- `origin_asns`: Origin AS numbers extracted from AS path
- `communities`: BGP communities (standard, extended, and large)
- `next_hop`, `local_pref`, `med`: Other BGP attributes

**Iteration**: Use [`BgpkitParser::into_elem_iter()`] or default iteration to iterate over [BgpElem]s.

## Which One Should I Use?

- **Use [BgpElem]** (default): For most BGP analysis tasks, prefix tracking, AS path analysis
- **Use [MrtRecord]**: When you need MRT format details, re-encoding, or minimal memory overhead

**Memory trade-off**: [BgpElem] duplicates shared attributes (AS path, communities) for each prefix, consuming more memory but providing simpler analysis.
