UTL-X v0.9.0

Universal Transformation Language Extended - A format-agnostic functional transformation language.

Highlights

• Format-agnostic transformations — XML, JSON, CSV, YAML, XSD, JSON Schema, Avro, Protobuf
• 120+ standard library functions — string, array, math, date, type, encoding, XML, and more
• Identity mode (NEW) — instant format conversion without writing a script:

  cat data.xml | utlx          # XML to JSON (smart flip)
  cat data.json | utlx         # JSON to XML (smart flip)
  cat data.csv | utlx          # CSV to JSON
  cat data.xml | utlx --to yaml  # override with --to

• Implicit transform — no transform subcommand needed:

  utlx script.utlx input.xml    # implicit transform

• --to / --from aliases — concise format flags
• Strong type system with compile-time checking
• Multi-input transformations — join data from multiple files/formats
• 460 conformance tests passing (100%)
