-
Changing from bool requiring true to string requiring the empty string is more consistent with the CLI and makes it possible to add an optional parameter or choices later without breaking compatibility.
-
Flatten everything to make it easier to map command-line flags to json. The old structure was an illusion anyway because there was no mechanism to enforce that things were in the right place. This also helps with future flexibility.
-
Use "file" consistently for specifying a file path. We use "filename" when adding attachments for a completely different purpose.
-
The code was assuming everything was happening inside dictionaries. Instead, make the dictionary key handler creatino explicit only when iterating through dictionary keys.
-
If some keys depend on others, we have to check up front since there is no control of what order key handlers will be called. Anyway, keys are unordered in json, so we don't want to depend on ordering.
-
Now still have to go through and implement the handlers.
-
Since the functionality of argument parsing has moved into QPDFJob, these classes no longer need to be public. Their methods still have to be in the library's binary interface so they can be tested in libtests.
-
Fix typos in cli.rst
-
Why? The main methods that create them return smart pointers so that users can initialize them when needed, which you can't do with references. Returning pointers instead of references makes for a more uniform interface.
-
Use named functions rather than just end() for clarity.
