✨ Features

• UTF-8 focused XML parsing
• Reads XML declaration (version, encoding, standalone)
• Line break normalization (\r\n / \r → \n)
• Full namespace resolution with prefix → URI stack
• Correct QName parsing ({namespace_uri, local_name})
• Order-preserving attributes (using IndexMap)
• Support for:
  • Elements (<tag> / <tag/>)
  • Attributes (namespaced & unnamespaced)
  • Mixed content (text + elements)
  • Comments (<!-- -->)
• Round-trip safe serialization:
  • Preserves original namespace prefixes
  • namespace alias rename
  • Preserves attribute order
• Low memory ID-based tree model (similar to arena allocation)
• No unsafe code
