PDF Object Parser - Core PDF data types and parsing

This module implements parsing of all PDF object types according to ISO 32000-1 Section 7.3. PDF files are built from a small set of basic object types that can be combined to form complex data structures.

Object Types

PDF supports the following basic object types:

• Null: Represents an undefined value
• Boolean: true or false
• Integer: Whole numbers
• Real: Floating-point numbers
• String: Text data (literal or hexadecimal)
• Name: Unique atomic symbols (e.g., /Type, /Pages)
• Array: Ordered collections of objects
• Dictionary: Key-value mappings where keys are names
• Stream: Dictionary + binary data
• Reference: Indirect reference to another object

Example

use oxidize_pdf_core::parser::objects::{PdfObject, PdfDictionary, PdfName};

// Create a simple page dictionary
let mut dict = PdfDictionary::new();
dict.insert("Type".to_string(), PdfObject::Name(PdfName::new("Page".to_string())));
dict.insert("MediaBox".to_string(), PdfObject::Array(PdfArray::new()));

// Check dictionary type
assert_eq!(dict.get_type(), Some("Page"));
