# Pdftract Swift SDK - Implementation Summary

## Complete Package Structure

The Swift SDK has been designed according to the SDK contract defined in the JSON schema (`docs/schema/v1.0/pdftract.schema.json`). All files follow Swift naming conventions (camelCase for methods/properties, PascalCase for types).

## Total Code Statistics

- **Total Lines**: ~2,465 lines of Swift code
- **Models**: 25+ public types (structs/enums)
- **Methods**: 7 public async methods on Pdftract client
- **Errors**: 8 distinct error cases
- **Tests**: 11 comprehensive test suites
- **Examples**: 16 usage examples

## Core Components

### 1. Main Client (Pdftract.swift)

```swift
public actor Pdftract {
    // Full structured extraction
    func extract(from:source, options:) async throws -> Document

    // Streaming extraction
    func extractPages(from:source, options:) async -> AsyncThrowingStream<Page, Error>

    // Text extraction
    func extractText(from:source, options:) async throws -> String
    func extractTextPages(from:source, options:) async -> AsyncThrowingStream<String, Error>

    // Markdown extraction
    func extractMarkdown(from:source, options:) async throws -> String

    // Hashing
    func hash(source:) async throws -> (md5: String, sha256: String)

    // Metadata only
    func extractMetadata(from:) async throws -> Metadata
}
```

### 2. Source Enum (Source.swift)

```swift
public enum Source {
    case path(String)
    case url(String)
    case bytes(Data)
    case bytesStream(AsyncStream<Data>)
}
```

### 3. Error Types (Error.swift)

```swift
public enum PdftractError: Error, Equatable {
    case invalidPdf(String)
    case ioError(String)
    case networkError(String)
    case outOfMemory
    case parseError(String)
    case ocrError(String)
    case renderingError(String)
    case internalError(String)
}
```

## Model Coverage

All JSON schema types are represented as Swift structs/enums:

| Schema Type | Swift Type | File |
|------------|------------|------|
| Output | Document | Document.swift |
| DocumentMetadata | Metadata | Document.swift |
| PageJson | Page | Page.swift |
| SpanJson | Span | Page.swift |
| BlockJson | Block | Page.swift |
| TableJson | Table | Table.swift |
| RowJson | Row | Table.swift |
| CellJson | Cell | Table.swift |
| LinkJson | Link | Annotation.swift |
| AnnotationJson | Annotation | Annotation.swift |
| AnnotationSpecificJson | AnnotationSpecific | Annotation.swift |
| SignatureJson | Signature | Signature.swift |
| FormFieldJson | FormField | FormField.swift |
| FormFieldTypeJson | FormFieldType | FormField.swift |
| FormFieldValueJson | FormFieldValue | FormField.swift |
| AttachmentJson | Attachment | Attachment.swift |
| ThreadJson | Thread | Attachment.swift |
| BeadJson | Bead | Attachment.swift |
| OutlineNode | OutlineNode | Attachment.swift |
| ExtractionQuality | ExtractionQuality | Quality.swift |
| DiagnosticJson | Diagnostic | Quality.swift |
| ObjectLocationJson | ObjectLocation | Quality.swift |
| JavascriptActionJson | JavascriptAction | Quality.swift |

## Key Features

### 1. Async/Await Support

All operations use Swift concurrency:

```swift
let client = Pdftract()
let document = try await client.extract(from: source)
```

### 2. Streaming Support

Large PDFs can be processed incrementally:

```swift
for try await page in await client.extractPages(from: source) {
    // Process page immediately
}
```

### 3. Type-Safe Errors

Typed errors with context:

```swift
do {
    let document = try await client.extract(from: source)
} catch let error as PdftractError {
    print("Error code: \(error.code)")
    print("Description: \(error.localizedDescription)")
}
```

### 4. Codable Protocol

All models support JSON serialization:

```swift
let encoder = JSONEncoder()
let jsonData = try encoder.encode(document)

let decoder = JSONDecoder()
let document = try decoder.decode(Document.self, from: jsonData)
```

### 5. Swift Naming

All types use Swift conventions:

- **Types**: PascalCase (`Document`, `Page`, `Span`)
- **Methods**: camelCase (`extract(from:options:)`)
- **Properties**: camelCase (`pageIndex`, `pageCount`)
- **JSON**: snake_case via CodingKeys (`page_index`, `page_count`)

## Testing

Comprehensive unit tests cover all models:

```bash
swift test
```

Test suites include:
- DocumentTests
- PageTests
- TableTests
- AnnotationTests
- FormFieldTests
- SignatureTests
- AttachmentTests
- ExtractionQualityTests
- DiagnosticTests
- SourceTests
- ExtractionOptionsTests
- ErrorTests

## Examples

16 example functions demonstrate all features:

```bash
swift run PdftractExamples run
```

Examples include:
1. Basic extraction
2. Streaming pages
3. Text extraction
4. Markdown extraction
5. Metadata only
6. URL source
7. Bytes source
8. Custom options
9. Error handling
10. Working with tables
11. Working with spans
12. Working with blocks
13. Working with form fields
14. Working with signatures
15. Working with attachments
16. Working with outline

## Verification

Run the verification script to validate the package:

```bash
./verify.sh
```

This checks:
- Package structure
- File existence
- Model count
- Method signatures
- Error types
- Source cases
- Build status
- Test passing

## Integration Notes

### Placeholder Implementation

The `ExtractorBridge` actor in `Pdftract.swift` is a placeholder. For production, replace with:

**Option A: C FFI**
```swift
// Call into compiled Rust library
private let pdftractCore = PdftractCore()
```

**Option B: HTTP Client**
```swift
// Call pdftract server API
private let client = HttpClient(baseURL: "http://localhost:8080")
```

**Option C: CLI Wrapper**
```swift
// Execute pdftract binary
let output = Process.execute("pdftract", args: [source])
```

### Cross-Platform Support

Conditional imports ensure Linux compatibility:

```swift
#if canImport(FoundationNetworking)
import FoundationNetworking
#endif
```

### Platform Support

- **macOS**: 13.0+ (Ventura and later)
- **Linux**: All distributions with Swift 5.9+

## Next Steps

1. **Implement ExtractorBridge**: Choose integration approach (FFI/HTTP/CLI)
2. **Add Integration Tests**: Test against real PDFs
3. **Performance Testing**: Benchmark large PDF handling
4. **Documentation Generation**: Run DocC to generate API docs
5. **CI/CD**: Add GitHub Actions for automated testing
6. **Binary Distribution**: Create `.xcframework` for non-SPM use
