## ==================
## Module yaml.taglib
## ==================
##
## The taglib API enables you to query real names of tags emitted by the parser
## and create own tags. It also enables you to define tags for types used with
## the serialization API.

import tables, macros, hashes

type
  TagId* = distinct int ## \
    ## A ``TagId`` identifies a tag URI, like for example
    ## ``"tag:yaml.org,2002:str"``. The URI corresponding to a ``TagId`` can
    ## be queried from the `TagLibrary <#TagLibrary>`_ which was
    ## used to create this ``TagId``; e.g. when you parse a YAML character
    ## stream, the ``TagLibrary`` of the parser is the one which generates
    ## the resulting ``TagId`` s.
    ##
    ## URI strings are mapped to ``TagId`` s for efficiency  reasons (you
    ## do not need to compare strings every time) and to be able to
    ## discover unknown tag URIs early in the parsing process.

  TagLibrary* = ref object
    ## A ``TagLibrary`` maps tag URIs to ``TagId`` s.
    ##
    ## When `YamlParser <#YamlParser>`_ encounters tags not existing in the
    ## tag library, it will use
    ## `registerUri <#registerUri,TagLibrary,string>`_ to add
    ## the tag to the library.
    ##
    ## You can base your tag library on common tag libraries by initializing
    ## them with `initFailsafeTagLibrary <#initFailsafeTagLibrary>`_,
    ## `initCoreTagLibrary <#initCoreTagLibrary>`_ or
    ## `initExtendedTagLibrary <#initExtendedTagLibrary>`_.
