spectre_parse 1.0.0

Lazy PDF parser — xref-only at open(), objects materialize on demand. Read-only. Powers the spectre_pdf extraction crate.
Documentation
//! `spectre_parse` — a lazy, read-only PDF parser.
//!
//! # Design — what "lazy" means here
//!
//! [`Document::open`] does **only** these steps eagerly:
//!
//! 1. Locate `%PDF-x.y` header (≤ 1 KB scan).
//! 2. Locate `startxref` (≤ 4 KB scan from EOF).
//! 3. Parse the xref table (or xref stream) at the start offset, plus
//! every preceding `Prev` xref the trailer chain points at.
//! 4. Parse the trailer dictionary.
//!
//! Steps 1–4 don't materialize a single body object. The returned
//! [`Document`] holds a borrow of the source bytes plus an indexed
//! `BTreeMap<ObjectId, XrefEntry>`. Object bodies are parsed on the
//! first call to [`Document::get_object`] (or anything that reaches
//! `get_object` transitively — page tree walks, font lookups, etc.)
//! and cached in an interior-mutable cell so subsequent reads are a
//! plain map lookup.
//!
//! # Scope (read-only)
//!
//! `spectre_parse` reads PDFs and decrypts password-protected documents
//! (full PDF Standard Security Handler: RC4 40/128-bit, AES-128 CBC,
//! AES-256 R=5/R=6 with Algorithm 2.B — see [`crate::decrypt`]). It does
//! NOT write PDFs, edit objects, or run JavaScript in form widgets. It
//! exists to serve the read paths inside `spectre_pdf` (text extraction,
//! table detection, structural metadata) with the smallest possible
//! parse cost. The matching write/modify surface lives in
//! `lopdf-fork/` for development-time use.
