## 🚀 Quick Start
### Installation
```toml
[dependencies]
rez-next-package = "0.1.0"
# With Python bindings
rez-next-package = { version = "0.1.0", features = ["python-bindings"] }
# With all features
rez-next-package = { version = "0.1.0", features = ["full"] }
```
### Basic Usage
```rust
use rez_next_package::*;
// Parse package.py files
let package = PackageSerializer::load_from_file("package.py")?;
println!("Package: {} v{}", package.name, package.version.unwrap());
// Create packages programmatically
let mut package = Package::new("my_tool".to_string());
package.version = Some(Version::parse("1.0.0")?);
package.description = Some("My awesome tool".to_string());
package.requires = vec!["python-3.9".to_string()];
// Validate packages
let validator = PackageValidator::new(Some(PackageValidationOptions::full()));
let result = validator.validate_package(&package)?;
assert!(result.is_valid);
```
### Python Integration
```python
from rez_next_package import Package, PackageValidator
# Load and validate packages
package = Package.load_from_file("package.py")
print(f"Package: {package.name} v{package.version}")
# Create packages
package = Package("my_tool")
package.version = "1.0.0"
package.description = "My awesome tool"
package.add_requirement("python-3.9")
# Validate
validator = PackageValidator.full()
result = validator.validate_package(package)
if not result.is_valid:
for error in result.errors:
print(f"Error: {error}")
```

## 🏗️ Architecture
### Package Structure
```rust
pub struct Package {
// Core metadata
pub name: String,
pub version: Option<Version>,
pub description: Option<String>,
pub authors: Vec<String>,
// Dependencies
pub requires: Vec<String>,
pub build_requires: Vec<String>,
pub private_build_requires: Vec<String>,
// Advanced features
pub variants: Vec<Vec<String>>,
pub tools: Vec<String>,
pub commands: Option<String>,
// And 20+ more fields...
}
```
### Python AST Parser
```rust
pub struct PythonAstParser;
impl PythonAstParser {
pub fn parse_package_py(content: &str) -> Result<Package, RezCoreError> {
// Uses RustPython for complete Python compatibility
// Handles complex expressions and function definitions
// Supports all Rez package.py features
}
}
```
### Validation System
```rust
pub struct PackageValidator {
pub fn validate_package(&self, package: &Package) -> Result<ValidationResult> {
// Comprehensive validation
// Dependency checking
// Metadata verification
// Custom validation rules
}
}
```
---
## 🎯 Advanced Features
### Package Management
```rust
use rez_next_package::PackageManager;
let manager = PackageManager::new();
// Install packages
let options = PackageInstallOptions::safe();
manager.install_package(&package, "/path/to/install", Some(options))?;
// Copy and rename
let copy_options = PackageCopyOptions::new()
.with_dest_name("renamed_package".to_string());
manager.copy_package(&package, "/path/to/dest", Some(copy_options))?;
// Remove packages
manager.remove_package(&package)?;
```
### Batch Operations
```rust
use rez_next_package::batch;
// Parse multiple packages
let packages = batch::parse_packages(&["pkg1/package.py", "pkg2/package.py"])?;
// Validate in parallel
let results = batch::validate_packages(&packages)?;
// Bulk operations
batch::install_packages(&packages, "/install/path")?;
```
### Custom Validation
```rust
use rez_next_package::validation::*;
let validator = PackageValidator::new(Some(
PackageValidationOptions::new()
.with_strict_mode(true)
.with_dependency_checking(true)
.with_custom_rules(vec![
Box::new(MyCustomRule::new()),
])
));
```
