ZptSharp NuGet packages

ZptSharp includes a number of packages; those which comprise the core of the library and others which you should select based upon your intended usage.

ZptSharp core

The ZptSharp core is made of two packages:

  • ZptSharp.Abstractions, which has very few dependencies and contains only abstractions and interfaces for the ZptSharp functionality.
  • ZptSharp contains the majority of the ZptSharp logic.

A consuming application/solution must reference the ZptSharp package from the project/assembly where it sets up dependency injection. The project which sets up dependency injection must also reference any document provider(s) & extra expression evaluator packages which are desired.

Using dependency injection in a multi-project solution, projects which make use of ZptSharp's functionality need only reference ZptSharp.Abstractions. This holds true regardless of which document providers or expression evaluators are used. Under DI, ZptSharp is injected & consumed using only interfaces and abstractions.

A working ZptSharp environment must include at least one document provider package.

Document providers

ZptSharp officially supports three document provider packages; you must use at least one in order for ZptSharp to be of any use. Each document provider represents a different technology for the reading and writing of DOM/markup documents.

Expression evaluators

Expression evaluators extend the TALES expression-types which ZptSharp may evaluate. The core ZptSharp.Impl package contains the standard evaluators which should be suitable for most projects.

Usage-specific packages

These packages are for particular applications of ZptSharp.
