4
+
5
+ ## [1.2] - 2022-08-02
6
+
7
+ ### Added
8
+
9
+ * New XML writer `MARC::UnsafeXMLWriter` which is 15-20 times faster than the
10
+ default (rexml-based) writer. It mirrors code from the old
11
+ [`MARC::FastXMLWriter` gem](https://github.com/billdueber/marc-fastxmlwriter)
12
+ in a way that integrates better with the existing writer framework. It can
13
+ be used like any other writer,
14
+ e.g., `writer = MARC::UnsafeXMLWriter. new(filename)`. Note that while it
15
+ is "unsafe" in that it doesn't do checks for valid XML going out (it's speed
16
+ comes from the fact that it's just concatenating strings together),
17
+ the `FastXMLWriter` gem has been used "in the wild" for years and doesn't
18
+ seem to cause anyone any problems.
19
+ * Added a new method, `MARC::Record.to_xml_string` which produces a
20
+ valid `<record>...</record>` XML snippet. It takes an optional keyword
21
+ argument to include namespace attributes on the
22
+ `<record>` tag, and another to use the new unsafe generator as
23
+ `record.to_xml_string(fast_but_unsafe: true)`.
24
+ * Added first-class support for `.jsonl` (aka "newline-delimited json")
25
+ files using the marc-in-json format via `MARC::JSONLReader` and
26
+ `MARC::JSONLWriter` which read and write marc-in-json. `ruby-marc` has
27
+ supported `#to_hash` and `#from_hash` to deal with this format at the
28
+ individual record level for a long time; this just provides the
29
+ reader/writer scaffolding.
30
+ * Also added `MARC::Record.to_json_string` to get a marc-in-json string
31
+ representation (parallel to the new `#to_xml_string`)
32
+ * New option to xml readers to ignore any namespaces
33
+ via `reader = MARC::XMLReader.new(filename, ignore_namespace: true)`. While
34
+ the REXML MARC-XML reader can't handle
35
+ (and thus has always ignored XML namespaces), the Nokogiri-based version
36
+ will enforce namespaces if present. Useful only when you have
37
+ poorly-generated files where the XML namespace attributes are wonky.
38
+ * All writers will now self-close if used with a block (e.g.,
39
+ `MARC::Writer.new(filename) {|w| w.write(record)}`), parallel to the way
40
+ `File.open` works in regular ruby.
41
+ * XML writers will now take an optional keyword argument,
42
+ `include_namespace`, on both `#new` and `.encode`.
43
+
44
+ ### Changed
45
+ * Remove the `JREXML` parser, which apparently hasn't worked for years yet
46
+ also wasn't running in CI because the test are running under bundler,
47
+ which didn't load `jrexml`. Set to emit a warning to use nokogiri
48
+ instead and fall back to REXML.
49
+ * 10-15% speed improvement when parsing MARC-XML with nokogiri (PR #97,
50
+ billdueber)
51
+ * Added deprecation warnings when using the `libxml`, `jstax`, or `jrexml`
52
+ xml parsers. When introduced, Nokogiri under JRuby was iffy. It's now
53
+ stable on both MRI and JRuby and faster than any of the other
54
+ included options and should be preferred. (PR #98, billdueber)
55
+ * MARC fields are now validated in their own post-creation stage (PR #66,
56
+ cbeer)
57
+ * Reduce the noise when running tests (billdueber)
58
+ * Reformatted this CHANGELOG.md file and added examples/structure to
59
+ README.md.
60
+
61
+
62
+ ### Fixed
63
+ * MARC-XML has requirements on the leader that are applied when writing out
64
+ MARC-XML by `MARC::XMLWriter.encode`. Previous versions would actually
65
+ mutate the record being written, resulting in a silent modification to
66
+ a record just because you were writing it out. Changed to use a duplicate
67
+ (PR #73, cbeer)
68
+ * Guard against multiple character calls when parsing XML (PR #74, cbeer)
69
+ * Minor Dublin Core code fixes (PRs #83 and #84, fjorba)
70
+ * `JRubyStaxReader` now supports Java 9+ / JRuby 9.3+ (PR #87, dmolesUC)

35
+ ### Reading / Writing MARC21 binary data
43
36
 
44
- Or if you're using bundler, add to your Gemfile
37
+ ```ruby
38
+ require 'marc'
45
39
 
46
- gem 'marc'
47
-
48
- ## Character Encodings in 'binary' ISO-2709 MARC
40
+ # marc21 binary format uses MARC::Reader and MARC::Writer
41
+
42
+ reader = MARC::Reader.new('marc.dat')
43
+ reader.each do |record|
44
+ title = record["245"].value
45
+ puts title
46
+ end
47
+ ```
48
+
49
+ If you know you have another encoding, you can specify it
50
+
51
+ ```ruby
52
+ reader = MARC::Reader.new("marc.dat", external_encoding: "MARC-8")
53
+ ```
54
+
55
+ While generally used with files, you can also give a reader an IO object
56
+ (usually an already-opened file or a StringIO object)
57
+
58
+ ```ruby
59
+ marc_data = File.open("marc.dat")
60
+ reader = MARC::Reader.new(marc_data)
61
+ ```
62
+
63
+ Similarly, you can write to either a file or an IO-like object
64
+
65
+ ```ruby
66
+ writer = MARC::Writer.new("myfile.dat")
67
+ # writer = MARC::Writer.new(Zlib::GzipWriter.open("myfile.dat.gz"))
68
+
69
+ myrecords.each do |rec|
70
+ writer.write(rec)
71
+ end
72
+ writer.close
73
+ ```
74
+
75
+ ### Reading/Writing marc-in-json
76
+
77
+ [marc-in-json](https://rossfsinger.com/blog/2010/09/a-proposal-to-serialize-marc-in-json/)
78
+ is a simple hash-based serialization format for MARC, often used with the
79
+ [jsonl](https://jsonlines.org/) (aka jsonlines or newline-delimited-json)
80
+ file format which puts one json structure on each line.
81
+
82
+ ```ruby
83
+
84
+ reader = MARC::JSONLReader.new("myfile.jsonl")
85
+ writer = MARC::JSONLWriter.new("my_other_file.jsonl")
86
+ reader.each do |record|
87
+ writer.write(record)
88
+ end
89
+ writer.close
90
+
91
+ ```
92
+
93
+ ### Reading/Writing MARC-XML
94
+
95
+ MARC-XML is an XML-based serialiation format for MARC records. It is,
96
+ generally speaking, a lot slower than using MARC21 or marc-in-json.
97
+
98
+ There are two XML parsers supported going forwards within the ruby-marc code
99
+ base: REXML (the first, and for a long time only, ruby XML parser based on
100
+ regular expressions) and Nokogiri. Both are compatible with both MRI ("normal") ruby and JRuby.
101
+
102
+ The Nokogiri parser is about 6x faster than using REXML. See performance
103
+ numbers, below.
104
+
105
+ At one time, it was difficult to install Nokogiri under MRI and impossible
106
+ under JRuby. Because of this historical blip, nokogiri is _not_
107
+ automatically included when doing `require "marc"` in your code. If you want
108
+ to use the Nokogiri-based parser, you must include it explicitly.
109
+
110
+ ```ruby
111
+ require "nokogiri"
112
+ require "marc"
113
+
114
+ reader = MARC::XMLReader.new("myfile.xml", parser: "nokogiri")
115
+ ```
116
+
117
+ The `parser` argument works as follows:
118
+
119
+ * if not included, REXML is used
120
+ * if "rexml" or "nokogiri", the appropriate parser will be used
121
+ * if "magic", the Nokogiri parser will be used if Nokogiri has been loaded;
122
+ otherwise it will fall back to using REXML.
123
+
124
+ ```ruby
125
+ # Use the best available
126
+ reader = MARC::XMLReader.new("my_file.xml", parser: "magic")
127
+ ```
128
+
129
+ ### "Self-closing" writers
49
130
 
50
- The Marc binary (ISO 2709) Reader (MARC::Reader) has some features for helping you deal with character encodings in ruby 1.9. It is always recommended to supply an explicit :external_encoding option to MARC::Reader; either any valid ruby encoding, _or_ the string "MARC-8". MARC-8 input will by default be transcoded to a UTF-8 internal representation.
131
+ Much like one can [open a file and have it automatically close at the end
132
+ of a block](https://ruby-doc.org/core-2.5.0/File.html#method-c-open) in
133
+ standard ruby, the various writers will do the same.
51
134
 
52
- MARC::Reader does _not_ currently have any facilities for guessing encoding from MARC21 leader byte 9, that is
53
- ignored.
135
+ ```ruby
54
136
 
55
- Consult the MARC::Reader class docs for a more complete discussion and range of options.
137
+ # separate writer and #close
138
+ reader = MARC::Reader.new("my_marc.mrc")
139
+ writer = MARC::UnsafeXMLWriter.new("my_marc.xml")
140
+ reader.each do |record|
141
+ writer.write(record)
142
+ end
143
+ writer.close
56
144
 
57
- The MARC binary Writer (MARC::Writer) does not have any encoding-related features -- it's up to you the developer to make sure you create MARC::Records with consistent and expected char encodings, although MARC::Writer will write out a legal ISO 2709 either way, it just might have corrupted encodings.
145
+ # "self-closing" equivalent
146
+ reader = MARC::Reader.new("my_marc.mrc")
147
+ MARC::UnsafeXMLWriter.new("my_marc.xml") do |w|
148
+ reader.each do |record|
149
+ w.write(record)
150
+ end
151
+ end
152
+ # no need to close the writer here
153
+ ```
154
+
155
+ ### Serializing a single record
156
+
157
+ The `MARC::Record` class has utility functions to serialize to the various
158
+ formats. These are generally thin wrappers around the `encode` class
159
+ methods (e.g., `MARC::Writer.encode`, `MARC::XMLWriter.encode`, etc.)
160
+
161
+ * `record.to_marc` will production a marc21 binary string
162
+ * `record.to_json_string` returns a string containing the JSON document
163
+ for the marc-in-json serialization
164
+ * This just json-ifies `record.to_hash`, which returns a hash compatible
165
+ with the marc-in-json format.
166
+ * `record.to_xml_string` returns the actual XML string, with the following
167
+ options:
168
+ * `include_namespace: true` (default: `true`) will include the MARC namespace
169
+ attributes
170
+ * `fast_but_unsafe: true` (default: `false`) will use the much faster
171
+ `MARC::UnsafeXMLWriter` code, which produces the XML by string
172
+ concatenation. See that class for more information, but in general, if
173
+ your MARC isn't wildly invalid, it works fine and is roughly 15x faster.
174
+ The default (REXML) simply does `record.to_xml.to_s`
175
+
176
+ Note that * `record.to_xml`, for historical reasons, returns an REXML document of
177
+ the XML serialization and _not_ an XML string as one might expect.
178
+
179
+
180
+ ## Benchmarking reading MARC in various formats
181
+
182
+ A simple benchmark run on a single thread on a 2017-era x64 Macintosh
183
+ gives the numbers below.

+
185
+ ```

202
+
203
