Crate netform_ir 

Lossless intermediate representation (IR) for network device configuration text.

This crate provides:

• a tree model (Document, Node, LineNode, BlockNode)
• a conservative parser (parse_generic, parse_with_dialect)
• a lossless renderer (Document::render)

The parser is intentionally conservative for pre-alpha use:

• it only uses indentation as a structural cue
• unknown patterns are preserved as regular lines
• no input lines are dropped

Example

use netform_ir::parse_generic;

let input = "interface Ethernet1\n  description uplink\n";
let doc = parse_generic(input);
assert_eq!(doc.render(), input);

Structs

BlockNode

Structured block node with a header line and nested children.

Document

Lossless parsed document backed by an arena and root node list.

DocumentMetadata

Document metadata attached during parsing.

GenericDialect

Conservative default dialect for vendor-agnostic parsing.

LineNode

Leaf node preserving original raw text and parse metadata for one line.

NodeId

Stable arena identifier for a node in a Document.

ParseFinding

Parser-level uncertainty note attached to a source span.

ParsedLineParts

Minimal tokenized representation of a content line.

Path

Location path used by diffs and diagnostics (root_index, then child indices).

Span

Source span pointing to a single line and byte range in the original input.

Enums

DialectHint

Declared parser dialect used for this document.

Node

Arena node variant.

TriviaKind

Lightweight classification used by parser, normalization, and diff views.

Traits

Dialect

Dialect extension point for trivia classification and line tokenization.

Functions

parse_generic

Parse input using the built-in generic dialect.

parse_with_dialect

Parse input into a lossless IR using the given dialect implementation.
