## Entity Component System (ECS)

Read the Full Documentation here <a href="https://bakpakin.github.io/tiny-ecs/doc">https://bakpakin.github.io/tiny-ecs/doc</a>

> Below are some helper functions to make things more efficient 

---

**commit()**

```lua 
obj = { foo = "bar", mycomponent = { a = 1 } }
api.ecs.add( api.world, obj )

obj.foo = "flop"
obj.commit('Xhappened') 
-- commit notifies all systems to rebuild entitycache
-- because normally systems filter on an entitycache (=fast)
-- which would still rely on foo = "bar".
-- Only do this when you actually need a system to pick 
-- up on a change.
```

> also <a href="#api-ext-exec">api.ext.exec('Xhappened')</a> is called so extensions can respond to the change.

## api.parser.xml

```lua
local xml     = api.parser.xml.newParser()

local testXml = [[
  <testOne param="param1value">
    <testTwo paramTwo="param2value">
    <testThree>
      testThreeValue
    </testThree>
    <testThree duplicate="one" duplicate="two">
      testThreeValueTwo
    </testThree>
    <test_Four something="else">
      testFourValue
    </test_Four>
    <testFive>
      <testFiveDeep>
        <testFiveEvenDeeper>
          <testSix someParam="someValue"/>
        </testFiveEvenDeeper>
      </testFiveDeep>
    </testFive>
      testTwoValue
    </testTwo>
  </testOne>
]]


util.traverseXML( xml:ParseXmlText(testXml),  function(node,raw)
  print_r(node)
--   {
--     tag = "div",
--     prop = {
--       style = "color:red; display:none"
--     }
--   }
end)
```

## api.ext.*

This is where extensions live.
See the [skeleton extension](src/ext/skeleton/main.lua) for a typical extension startingpoint.

## api.ext.exec

This allows batch-firing a function on each extension (if exist)

```lua
api.ext.exec('init', 123, "foo") -- call .init(123,"foo") on each extension 
```
