//! # PDK XML Validator Library
//!
//! Provides XML validation functionality with configurable structural constraints,
//! validating XML payloads incrementally from the request body stream.
//!
//! ## Highlights
//!
//! - Stream-first validation API for policy usage
//! - Configurable limits for depth, attributes, children, text and comments
//!
//! ## Primary types
//!
//! - [`XmlValidatorBuilder`]: builder to configure validation constraints
//! - [`XmlValidator`]: validator instance used to validate XML payload streams
//! - [`XmlValidator::validate`]: validate from an async byte source
//! - [`XmlValidator::validate_stream`]: validate a PDK body stream
//! - [`XmlValidationError`]: error type for structural violations and malformed XML
