MackySoft.Text.Vocabularies

MackySoft.Text.Vocabularies defines finite, typed vocabularies whose values map one-to-one to canonical text.

The package targets netstandard2.1 and does not depend on System.Text.Json. It is suitable for protocol literals, configuration values, and other machine-readable closed sets that need one exact text for each declared value.

Installation

Install a pinned version from nuget.org:

dotnet add package MackySoft.Text.Vocabularies --version <version>

Define and Resolve a Vocabulary

using MackySoft.Text.Vocabularies;

[VocabularyDefinition]
public enum DeploymentMode
{
    [VocabularyText("safe")]
    Safe,

    [VocabularyText("advanced")]
    Advanced,
}

string text = Vocabulary.GetText(DeploymentMode.Safe);

if (Vocabulary.TryGetValue("advanced", out DeploymentMode mode))
{
    Console.WriteLine(mode);
}

foreach (VocabularyEntry<DeploymentMode> entry in Vocabulary.GetEntries<DeploymentMode>())
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{entry.Text}: {entry.Value}");
}

Resolution uses ordinal comparison. The package does not trim input, ignore case, resolve aliases, or normalize Unicode.

Definition Guarantees

A vocabulary is validated on first use. Validation rejects definitions that:

have no declared members;
omit VocabularyTextAttribute from any member;
repeat a typed value or canonical text;
use empty, whitespace-only, leading-whitespace, or trailing-whitespace text.

Vocabulary.Validate(Type) validates a definition known only at runtime. Vocabulary.IsVocabulary(Type) discovers declared definitions and validates them without requiring a JSON adapter or another consumer to inspect member metadata.

Non-Goals

This package does not provide descriptions, examples, JSON Schema, general text codecs, path rules, JSON canonicalization, or product-specific input policy.

For System.Text.Json string values and property names, use MackySoft.Text.Vocabularies.Json.
