UTL-X v1.0.0

UTL-X v1.0.0

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

Highlights

• 652 standard library functions across 18 categories
• Identity mode — instant format conversion without 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 — utlx script.utlx input.xml (no transform subcommand needed)
• --to / --from short aliases for format flags
• Strong type system with compile-time checking
• Multi-input transformations across different formats
• GraalVM native binary support for instant startup
• 447 conformance tests passing (100%)
