Enum ReferenceMode 

pub enum ReferenceMode {
    Strict,
    Lenient,
}

Reference resolution mode for controlling validation behavior.

Determines how the reference resolver handles unresolved or problematic references.

Variants

Strict

Strict mode: Unresolved references cause errors.

This is the default and recommended mode for production parsing. Any reference that cannot be resolved will result in a parse error.

Behavior

• Unresolved references → Error
• Ambiguous references → Error (always, regardless of mode)

Lenient

Lenient mode: Unresolved references are ignored.

Useful for partial parsing, work-in-progress documents, or when reference validation is deferred to a separate validation pass.

Behavior

• Unresolved references → Silently ignored
• Ambiguous references → Error (always, regardless of mode)

Use Cases

• Parsing incomplete documents during development
• Incremental parsing where not all nodes are loaded
• Custom validation workflows

Implementations

impl ReferenceMode

pub fn is_strict(self) -> bool

Returns true if this mode should fail on unresolved references.

pub fn is_lenient(self) -> bool

Returns true if this mode allows unresolved references.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ReferenceMode

fn clone(&self) -> ReferenceMode

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for ReferenceMode

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl Default for ReferenceMode

fn default() -> ReferenceMode

Returns the “default value” for a type.

impl From<bool> for ReferenceMode

fn from(strict: bool) -> Self

Convert from legacy boolean parameter.

true → Strict, false → Lenient

impl Hash for ReferenceMode

fn hash<__H: Hasher>(&self, state: &mut __H)

Feeds this value into the given Hasher.

fn hash_slice<H>(data: &[Self], state: &mut H)

where H: Hasher, Self: Sized,

Feeds a slice of this type into the given Hasher.

impl PartialEq for ReferenceMode

fn eq(&self, other: &ReferenceMode) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
