example URI: `://domain.com/some3d.asset#pos=1,0,0&prio=-5
# URI parser
> icanhazcode? yes, see [URI.hx](./../src/xrfragment/URI.hx)
1. fragment URI starts with `#`
1. fragments are split by `&`
1. `=` is used to split fragment key/values
1. fragment-values are urlencoded (space becomes `+` using `encodeUriComponent` e.g.)
1. every recognized fragment key/value-pair is added to a central map/associative array/object
# XR Fragments (key/value params)
| param | type | category | example |
|---------|---------------|-------------------------|------------------|
| pos | 3D vector | HREF navigation/portals | `#pos=1,0,1` or `#pos=foo` |
| prio | int (-10..1) | Asset linking | `#prio=-5` |
# XR Fragments parser
> icanhazcode? yes, see [Parser.hx](./../src/xrfragment/Parser.hx)
the gist of it:
1. each key has a regex to validate its value-type (see regexes)
1. `|` is used to split multiple/fallback values
1. `,` assumes 1D/2D/3D vector-values like x[,y[,z]]
1. parseFloat(..) and parseInt(..) is applied to vector/float and int values
1. anything else will be treated as string-value
1. incompatible value-types will be dropped / not used
> the xrfragment specification should stay simple enough
> for anyone to write a parser using either regexes or grammar/lexers
> therefore expressions/comprehensions are not supported (max wildcard/comparison operators for queries e.g.)
# Value types
| type | info | format | example |
|------|------|--------|----------------------------------|
|vector| x,y,z| comma-separated | #pos=1,2,3 |
|string| color| FFFFFF (hex) | #fog=5m,FFAACC |
|string| | | #q=-sun |
|int | | [-]x[xxxxx] | #price:>=100 |
|float | | [-]x[.xxxx] (ieee)| #prio=-20
|array | mixed| \|-separated | #pos=0,0,0|90,0,0 |
> rule for thumb: type-limitations will piggyback JSON limitations (IEEE floatsize e.g.)
1. hex colors are detected using regex `/^#([A-Fa-f0-9]{6}|[A-Fa-f0-9]{3})$/`
1. integers are detected using regex `/^[0-9]+$/`
1. floats are detected using regex `/^[0-9]+\.[0-9]+$/`
1. vectors are detected using regex `/[,]/` (but can also be an string referring to an entity-ID in the asset)
# Tests
the spec is tested with [JSON unittests](./../src/spec) consumed by [Test.hx](./../src/Test.hx) to cross-test all languages.
