Version_1.1.6

What's New

• The node adapter contract is now a C++20 concept (NodeAdapterLike) instead of a virtual INodeAdapter base class. Serializers were already duck-typed templates, so consumer code compiles unchanged; custom mock/test adapters no longer derive from a base and can validate themselves with a static_assert against the concept.
• The JSON adapter holds its state inline instead of behind a shared pimpl.
• JSON files are written tab-indented instead of four-space, making them more compact to store and faster to write.

Version_1.1.5

FileParse Version_1.1.5

Build / tooling

• Added local development mode: the local CMake preset sets LBNL_LOCAL_SIBLINGS, preferring sibling working copies (../<Name>) of dependencies when checked out, with independent fallback to each declared remote.
• Cross-platform presets / Ninja-on-Unix groundwork and MSVC /MP (multi-processor compilation).
• Regenerated the dependency chart (doc/FileParse.md) from the template.

Dependencies

• nlohmann_json bumped v3.11.3 -> v3.12.0 (consolidated across the Windows-Tools dependency graph).
• xmlParser pinned at v1.0.5 (unchanged).
• googletest (test only) bumped to v1.17.0.

No public API changes.

Version_1.1.3

Bug fix

operator>> for std::optional<T> now treats empty XML elements as nullopt.

Previously, an empty self-closing element like <X/> (or its equivalent <X></X>) would populate the optional with a default-constructed T{} because the predicate guarding deserialization was just !node.isEmpty() — and a parsed empty element is "non-empty" in the XML-node sense (the node exists, just has no children or text).

That caused round-trips of schema-equivalent-to-missing elements to come back as optional{T{}} instead of nullopt. Downstream consumers comparing an authored record (no element written) against a loaded record (empty wrapper deserialized to default-constructed T) saw spurious differences.

The predicate is now !node.isEmpty() && (!node.getChildNodes().empty() || !node.getText().empty()) — the optional is populated only when the node both exists and carries content. Empty wrappers stay nullopt, matching the typical XML convention.

Behavior

XML form | before 1.1.3 | from 1.1.3 -- | -- | -- element absent | nullopt | nullopt 91 (text content) | optional{91} | optional{91} ... (children) | optional{T{...}} | optional{T{...}}  or  (empty wrapper) | optional{T{}} | nullopt

Trade-offs

The new predicate has lossy round-trips for two edge cases:

• optional<std::string>{""} written as <X></X> deserializes as nullopt. If your schema uses empty-string-as-value distinctly from "no string", supply a custom serializer at the call site.
• Optional types whose payload lives entirely in attributes (
