Module lexical 

Zero-copy lexical XML events and deterministic XML serialization.

This module is the parser-neutral boundary used before semantic DOM construction. The public event model intentionally does not expose the implementation tokenizer, so consumers can share source ranges, escaping, and serialization without inheriting a parser’s tree semantics.
