📖 Parsing OpenSCENARIO Files

use openscenario_rs::{parse_file, parse_str, OpenScenarioDocumentType};
use std::fs;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Parse from file
    let scenario = parse_file("scenario.xosc")?;
    
    // Or parse from string
    let xml = fs::read_to_string("scenario.xosc")?;
    let scenario = parse_str(&xml)?;
    
    // Access file metadata
    println!("Author: {:?}", scenario.file_header.author);
    println!("Description: {:?}", scenario.file_header.description);
    
    // Check document type and access data
    match scenario.document_type() {
        OpenScenarioDocumentType::Scenario => {
            // Access entities
            if let Some(entities) = &scenario.entities {
                for entity in &entities.scenario_objects {
                    println!("Entity: {:?}", entity.name);
                }
            }
            
            // Access storyboard and analyze structure
            if let Some(storyboard) = &scenario.storyboard {
                println!("Stories: {}", storyboard.stories.len());
                for story in &storyboard.stories {
                    println!("  Story: {:?} with {} acts", story.name, story.acts.len());
                }
            }
        }
        OpenScenarioDocumentType::ParameterVariation => {
            println!("Parameter variation file");
            if let Some(param_dist) = &scenario.parameter_value_distribution {
                println!("Referenced scenario: {}", param_dist.scenario_file.filepath);
            }
        }
        OpenScenarioDocumentType::Catalog => {
            println!("Catalog file loaded");
        }
        _ => println!("Unknown document type"),
    }
    
    Ok(())

🏗️ Building OpenSCENARIO Files

use openscenario_rs::{ScenarioBuilder, StoryboardBuilder, serialize_to_string};
use openscenario_rs::types::enums::ParameterType;

#[cfg(feature = "builder")]
fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Create a scenario with the builder API
    let scenario = ScenarioBuilder::new()
        .with_header("Highway Scenario", "OpenSCENARIO-rs")
        .add_parameter("initial_speed", ParameterType::Double, "25.0")
        .add_parameter("target_speed", ParameterType::Double, "35.0")
        .with_road_file("highway.xodr")
        .with_entities()
        .build()?;

    // Add complex storyboard with detached builders
    let mut storyboard_builder = StoryboardBuilder::new(scenario_builder);
    let mut story_builder = storyboard_builder.add_story_simple("main_story");

    // Create acts and maneuvers
    let mut act = story_builder.create_act("acceleration");
    let mut maneuver = act.create_maneuver("speed_up", "ego");
    let speed_action = maneuver
        .create_speed_action()
        .named("accelerate")
        .to_speed(35.0);

    // Attach components using detached pattern
    speed_action.attach_to_detached(&mut maneuver)?;
    maneuver.attach_to_detached(&mut act);
    act.attach_to(&mut story_builder);

    let scenario = storyboard_builder.finish().build()?;

    // Serialize to XML
    let xml = serialize_to_string(&scenario)?;
    std::fs::write("generated_scenario.xosc", xml)?;

    Ok(())
