roscal_lib: Referential implementation of Open Security Controls Assessment Language(OSCAL)

This library enables users to programmatically build, and parse various OSCAL models using the builder pattern, with bi-directional validation enabled on key fields during serialisation/deserialisation.

All textual fields are represented as String type such as uuid, datetime etc. This library strives to be unopinionated about which libraries user use to build certain data fields, therefore it does not re-export some of the libraries used internally for validation. The libraries for building these types are specified Cargo.toml such as chrono, uriparse, uuid etc, although you can follow the OSCAL specification and choose whichever that conforms to the requirements. See https://pages.nist.gov/metaschema/specification/datatypes/

Currently the latest v1.x is being tracked by this library and compatible all the way back to v1.0.0. It primarily supports the roscal_cli tool.

Note: The generation of Rust structs are done via external tool called quicktype. Future plan is to migrate away from this and derive structs using a Rust native solution. The naming of types are subject to change once this is completed.
