pdf-engine 1.2.0

//! The block model as JSON, for callers that chunk it themselves (#572).
//!
//! `crate::markdown` next door writes the document a RAG pipeline READS. This
//! writes the document a pipeline TAKES APART: every block with the kind it
//! was classified as, the page and the box it was drawn in, its text, the
//! spans it is made of and its place in the reading order. A caller that
//! chunks by heading, cites a paragraph by page, or draws a highlight over
//! what it retrieved needs the geometry, and markdown has none.
//!
//! WRITTEN BY HAND AND NOT BY A DERIVE. `serde` is an optional dependency of
//! this crate and off by default, deliberately -- the core engine stays
//! serialization-agnostic and the bindings that emit JSON turn it on. A
//! serializer that only existed under a feature flag would be a serializer
//! most callers of the library do not have, so this one writes its own bytes
//! and is always there.
//!
//! WHAT MAKES IT DETERMINISTIC, which is the whole of what a golden test over
//! it rests on: the keys are written in a fixed order rather than iterated out
//! of a map, and every number goes through [`number`], which has one rule for
//! every value a `f64` can hold.
//!
//! A NON-FINITE NUMBER IS `null`. JSON has no NaN and no infinity, and the two
//! ways out of that are both worse than saying nothing: printing `NaN` makes a
//! file no parser accepts, and printing `0` states a coordinate the document
//! does not have. `Block::bbox` is already finite or `[0, 0, 0, 0]` by the
//! time it leaves `crate::blocks`, so this is about a span from a pathological
//! transform and about a block a caller built by hand.
//!
//! THE KIND'S OWN FIELDS ARE FLAT, next to `kind` rather than nested under it:
//! `level` on a heading, `row` and `column` on a cell. Each object has exactly
//! one kind, so reading `level` after reading `kind` is unambiguous -- and it
//! is one step instead of two for every filter a caller writes.
//!
//! AND THERE IS NO FALLBACK ARM FOR A KIND THIS DOES NOT KNOW. `BlockKind` is
//! `#[non_exhaustive]` for the callers outside this crate, and inside it the
//! compiler still counts the variants -- so a kind added later stops the build
//! here instead of leaving the block to a `_` arm that would write it out as
//! something it is not. The name of a kind is a wire contract, and the day one
//! is added is the day somebody has to choose its name.

//! WHY THE SPANS ARE THE SIX NUMBERS AND NOT THE WHOLE `TextSpan`. The per-
//! glyph boxes on a span outweigh everything else in this file by an order of
//! magnitude -- one box of four numbers per character -- and nothing that
//! chunks a document reads them. The caller that does want them asks
//! `extract_text_blocks`, whose `TextSpanInfo` is the canonical wire form of a
//! span and carries all of it. This carries what a chunk needs to be placed:
//! where the run is, how big it is, and what it was set in.
