Crate panproto_schema 

panproto-schema

Schema representation for panproto.

A schema is a model of a protocol’s schema theory GAT (from panproto-gat). This crate provides:

• Schema: The core schema data structure with precomputed adjacency indices for efficient graph traversal.
• SchemaBuilder: A fluent, protocol-aware builder that validates each element as it is added.
• Protocol: Configuration describing which schema/instance theories and edge rules a data format uses.
• normalize: Ref-chain collapse for schemas with Ref vertices.
• validate: Post-hoc validation of a schema against a protocol.

Modules

serde_helpers

Custom serde helpers for JSON-compatible serialization of complex map keys.

Structs

CoercionSpec

Specification of a coercion between two value kinds.

Constraint

A constraint on a vertex.

Edge

A binary edge between two vertices.

EdgeRule

A well-formedness rule for edges of a given kind.

HyperEdge

A hyper-edge (present only when the schema theory includes ThHypergraph).

Ordering

An ordering annotation on an edge.

Protocol

Identifies the schema and instance theories for a data-format protocol, together with structural well-formedness rules.

RecursionPoint

A recursion point (fixpoint marker) in the schema.

Schema

A schema: a model of the protocol’s schema theory.

SchemaBuilder

A builder for incrementally constructing a validated Schema.

SchemaMorphism

An explicit schema morphism (functor F: S → T).

SchemaOverlap

Specifies which elements of two schemas are identified (shared).

Span

A span connecting two vertices through a common source.

Variant

A variant in a coproduct (sum type / union).

Vertex

A schema vertex.

Enums

SchemaError

Errors that can occur during schema construction and validation.

UsageMode

Use-counting mode for an edge.

ValidationError

An error found during schema validation against a protocol.

Functions

normalize

Collapse ref-chains in a schema into direct edges.

schema_pushout

Compute the pushout (colimit) of two schemas along their overlap.

validate

Validate a schema against a protocol’s structural rules.
