A Truly Free EXI Processor

Goals

• Complete implementation of an EXI "Efficient XML Interchange" processor (https://www.w3.org/TR/exi/),
• in modern, idiomatic and portable C++,
• designed and implemented using the cepS - Ansatz,
• extends EXI significantly by providing a general framework for gammar based compression,
• truly open.

The meaning of the term "truly open" includes:

• open as in open source,
• and open as in open architecture, i.e. the inner workings of the software are open for inspection and experimentation (complete executable spec in model/),
• applies a corpus based approach to modelling, which allows for the incorporation of AI agents (e.g. Codepilot).
