kobold-xml

A clean-room, Rust-native COBOL-data XML layer — turns a decoded COBOL record into deterministic XML.

[!IMPORTANT] kobold-xml is independent of GnuCOBOL/libcob. It links no COBOL runtime, contains no libcob-derived code, and is not a GnuCOBOL 3.2 parity claim. It answers "what should a safe Rust-native COBOL XML layer do?" — not "what does GnuCOBOL 3.2 do?" (that is the LGPL gnucobol-rs crate's job, which faithfully preserves GnuCOBOL's behavior including its unimplemented XML PARSE stub). Evidence here is the EXT.XML.* court namespace.

v0.1 — XML GENERATE

  • A deterministic XML serializer of an explicit element tree (EXT.XML.GENERATE.1) with explicit text/attribute escaping (EXT.XML.ESCAPE.1): attributes in tree order, no timestamps/locale — safe for migration diffs and golden-file tests.
  • A clean COBOL-record model (CobolField / CobolValue) and its mapping to the XML tree. You decode your COBOL data into CobolFields by whatever means (e.g. separately with gnucobol-rs); kobold-xml itself depends on no COBOL runtime.

v0.1 value policy: alphanumeric → bytes trimmed of trailing spaces; numeric → leading zeros stripped, decimal point at scale, leading - if negative; group → nested element; FILLER omitted.

v0.2 (planned) — XML PARSE

A real event stream (START-OF-DOCUMENT … END-OF-DOCUMENT) + generate→parse round-trip (EXT.XML.PARSE.1 / EXT.XML.ROUNDTRIP.1).
