see https://nesbitt.io/2025/12/14/supply-chain-security-tools-for-ruby.html do we have equiveltn in go for each one of these? I know I've written some in git-pkgs but maybe there are existing well maintained go tools for others?

Here's what I found across the Go ecosystem for SARIF libraries.

---

**owenrumney/go-sarif** is the clear front-runner. 80 stars, 14 contributors, latest release v3.3.0 from October 2025. It supports both SARIF v2.1.0 and v2.2 specifications. The API covers the full lifecycle: parsing (`sarif.Open`, `sarif.FromBytes`, `sarif.FromString`), generating reports from scratch, and validating against the schema via `report.Validate()`. Install with `go get github.com/owenrumney/go-sarif/v3`. This is the most widely used standalone SARIF library in Go and is packaged in both Fedora and Debian. It includes a minor deviation from the spec to accommodate GitHub's requirement that `run.Results` be present for code scanning upload.

- Repo: https://github.com/owenrumney/go-sarif
- License: Apache-2.0
- Stars: ~80
- Last release: v3.3.0 (October 2025)
- Status: Actively maintained

**projectdiscovery/sarif** is a simpler SARIF exporter from the ProjectDiscovery team (the folks behind nuclei, httpx, etc.). 13 stars, MIT license. It's more of a lightweight writer than a full-featured library. Only 3 commits total, all from late 2022, with a single v0.0.1 release. It works but hasn't seen updates in over three years.

- Repo: https://github.com/projectdiscovery/sarif
- License: MIT
- Stars: ~13
- Last release: v0.0.1 (November 2022)
- Status: Inactive/minimal

**chavacava/garif** takes a different design approach, with constructor functions (`New...`) and decorator methods (`With...`) for building SARIF v2.1.0 output. It was created for the `revive` linter's SARIF formatter. The GitHub repo (6 stars) was archived in April 2025 and development moved to Codeberg. The Codeberg version had a commit in April 2025 updating to Go 1.23, so the maintainer is still around, but activity is sparse.

- Repo (archived): https://github.com/chavacava/garif
- Repo (current): https://codeberg.org/chavacava/garif
- License: MIT
- Stars: 6 (GitHub) / 1 (Codeberg)
- Status: Low activity, moved to Codeberg

**haya14busa/go-sarif** provides auto-generated Go structs from the SARIF v2.1.0 JSON schema using quicktype. It's purely data types with no logic for reading/writing/validating. 1 star, 13 commits, MIT license. Useful if you just want the type definitions and plan to handle marshaling yourself.

- Repo: https://github.com/haya14busa/go-sarif
- License: MIT
- Stars: 1
- Status: Minimal

**golang.org/x/vuln/internal/sarif** is the Go team's own SARIF implementation used internally by `govulncheck`. The `internal` path means it's not importable by external code, so you can't use it as a library. It exists only to serve govulncheck's SARIF output.

**github.com/securego/gosec/v2/report/sarif** is similarly an internal package within the gosec security scanner. It generates SARIF output for gosec's findings but isn't designed as a standalone library.

**github.com/ocurity/dracon/pkg/sarif** converts Dracon's `LaunchToolResponse` format into SARIF documents. Specific to the Dracon security orchestration platform.

If I had to pick one: **owenrumney/go-sarif** is the only general-purpose Go SARIF library that's well-maintained, feature-complete (parse + generate + validate), supports multiple SARIF spec versions, and has meaningful adoption. Everything else is either abandoned, internal to another tool, or too minimal.

Here's what I found across the Go ecosystem for CHANGELOG.md parsing.

---

**anton-yurchenko/go-changelog** -- https://github.com/anton-yurchenko/go-changelog

The most full-featured parser of the bunch. 3 stars (very low), but the API is well thought out. Latest release v1.1.0 from July 2023, last commit January 2025. MIT license. It parses Keep a Changelog and Common Changelog formats into structured Go types:

```go
type Changelog struct {
    Title       *string
    Description *string
    Unreleased  *Release
    Releases    Releases
}

type Release struct {
    Version *string
    Date    *time.Time
    Yanked  bool
    URL     *string
    Changes *Changes
}

type Changes struct {
    Added      *[]string
    Changed    *[]string
    Deprecated *[]string
    Fixed      *[]string
    Removed    *[]string
    Security   *[]string
    Notice     *string
}
```

Usage is straightforward:

```go
p, _ := changelog.NewParser("./CHANGELOG.md")
c, _ := p.Parse()
r := c.GetRelease("1.2.1")
```

It also supports creating and updating changelogs, not just reading them. Uses `afero` for filesystem abstraction. This is the only library that gives you typed `time.Time` dates and scoped changes (Added/Changed/Fixed etc.) out of the box.

---

**parkr/changelog** (byparker.com/go/changelog) -- https://github.com/parkr/changelog

33 stars. Latest release v1.5.0 from November 2023. MIT license. Published on pkg.go.dev as `byparker.com/go/changelog`. Parses markdown changelogs into `Version`, `Subsection`, and `ChangeLine` structs, with support for extracting PR number references and @mentions.

```go
changes, _ := changelog.NewChangelogFromFile("CHANGELOG.md")
// or
changes, _ := changelog.NewChangelogFromReader(reader)
```

Expects a format like:

```markdown
## 1.0.0 / 2015-02-21

### Major Enhancements

  * Added that big feature (#1425)

### Bug Fixes

  * Fixed that nasty bug (@carla)
```

The `ChangeLine` type pulls out the summary text and any reference (PR number or username). This one feels geared toward Jekyll-style changelogs specifically. Originally published in 2016, but got a release as recently as late 2023, so someone is still minding it.

---

**rcmachado/changelog** -- https://github.com/rcmachado/changelog

48 stars. Last release v0.7.0 from July 2020. MIT license. Primarily a CLI tool for reading, validating, and manipulating keepachangelog.com-format files, but it exposes a `parser` package you can use as a library:

```go
file, _ := os.Open("CHANGELOG.md")
changelog := parser.Parse(file)
```

Returns a `chg.Changelog` struct. The CLI commands (`fmt`, `release`, `show`) are useful too. It hasn't had a release in nearly six years though, and still sits at v0.x. 16 open issues, 2 open PRs. Functional but not actively developed.

---

**hashicorp/go-changelog** -- https://github.com/hashicorp/go-changelog

122 stars (the highest count in this group). MIT license. But it does something different from what you're asking for. Rather than parsing an existing CHANGELOG.md, it generates changelogs from individual files stored in a `.changelog/` directory. Each PR gets its own `.changelog/1234.txt` file, and the tool compiles them together between git refs. Not useful for parsing an existing markdown changelog.

---

**chelnak/gh-changelog** -- https://github.com/chelnak/gh-changelog

126 stars. Latest release v0.15.3 from May 2024. This is a GitHub CLI extension that generates changelogs from pull requests and tags. It has an internal `parser` package, but the tool is focused on generation, not on parsing existing files into structured data. Not what you're after.

---

**masutaka/changelog-parser** -- https://github.com/masutaka/changelog-parser

2 stars. Archived September 2021. A single commit from 2015, marked [WIP]. Dead on arrival.

---

**goreleaser/chglog** -- https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/goreleaser/chglog

Part of the GoReleaser ecosystem. A changelog management library, but oriented toward changelog generation rather than parsing existing markdown files.

---

**Summary of what's actually useful for parsing CHANGELOG.md into structured data:**

| Library | Stars | Last Activity | Parses Existing Files | Typed Date | Scoped Changes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| anton-yurchenko/go-changelog | 3 | Jan 2025 | Yes | `time.Time` | Yes (Added/Changed/Fixed...) |
| parkr/changelog | 33 | Nov 2023 | Yes | String in version header | Via subsections |
| rcmachado/changelog | 48 | Jul 2020 | Yes | Part of parsed struct | Yes |

The `anton-yurchenko/go-changelog` library is the most capable for your use case despite the low star count. It gives you proper `time.Time` dates, scoped change categories matching the Keep a Changelog spec, and round-trip support (parse, modify, write back). The `parkr/changelog` library is simpler and has more community validation. The `rcmachado/changelog` one works but looks dormant.

The ecosystem here is pretty thin overall. None of these are widely adopted. If the parsing needs are simple enough (grab version headers, dates, and body text), writing a small purpose-built parser against a known changelog format might end up being less friction than taking a dependency on a 3-star library.

Here is what I found across the Go ecosystem for SWHID libraries.

## Go SWHID Libraries

There are exactly **two** Go libraries for computing and parsing SWHIDs. Neither is an official Software Heritage project (the official implementations are in Python, Rust, and OCaml). No Go implementation exists under the `swhid` GitHub org or the Software Heritage org.

### 1. andrew/swhid-go

- **Repo:** https://github.com/andrew/swhid-go
- **pkg.go.dev:** https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/andrew/swhid-go
- **Stars:** 1
- **License:** MIT
- **Last updated:** February 10, 2026
- **Version:** v0.0.0 (no tagged release yet)

This is the more fully-featured of the two. It provides both a library and a CLI tool. It supports all five SWHID object types:

| Type | Code | What it identifies |
|------|------|--------------------|
| Content | `cnt` | File content (blob) |
| Directory | `dir` | Directory tree |
| Revision | `rev` | Git commit |
| Release | `rel` | Annotated tag |
| Snapshot | `snp` | Repository state |

Key library functions include `FromContent`, `FromDirectoryPath`, `FromRevision`, `FromRelease`, `FromSnapshot`, and `Parse`. The CLI supports `parse`, `content`, `directory`, `revision`, `release`, and `snapshot` subcommands with JSON output and qualifier support.

Example usage from the docs:

```go
id := swhid.FromContent([]byte("hello\n"))
// swh:1:cnt:ce013625030ba8dba906f756967f9e9ca394464a

parsed, _ := swhid.Parse("swh:1:cnt:ce013625030ba8dba906f756967f9e9ca394464a")

fsID, _ := swhid.FromDirectoryPath("/path/to/dir")
revID, _ := swhid.FromRevision("/path/to/repo", "HEAD")
```

### 2. afbjorklund/go-swhid

- **Repo:** https://github.com/afbjorklund/go-swhid
- **Stars:** 0
- **License:** Apache-2.0
- **Last updated:** January 19, 2026
- **Commits:** 7

This one also aims to generate and parse SWHIDs and references the SWHID v1.2 specification (ISO/IEC 18670:2025). It has a `cmd/swhid/` CLI and `pkg/swhid/` library layout. There is less public documentation on pkg.go.dev (it returned a 404 when I checked), and the README has fewer details about API surface. It is very new with only 7 commits and no stars.

## For context: implementations in other languages

The broader SWHID ecosystem has more mature options in other languages:

- **Rust** (`swhid/swhid-rs`) -- 7 stars, the official reference implementation under the SWHID working group, updated Feb 15, 2026
- **Python** (`swh-model`) -- the original Software Heritage implementation, mature and widely used
- **OCaml** (`OCamlPro/swhid`) -- 3 stars, parser/printer plus computation for all object types
- **Ruby** (`andrew/swhid`) -- 11 stars, generate and parse SWHIDs

There is also an official [test suite](https://github.com/swhid/test-suite) (5 stars) under the SWHID GitHub org for validating implementations against the spec.

## Summary

If you need a Go SWHID library today, `andrew/swhid-go` is the more complete option with documented API, CLI tooling, and support for all five object types. Both Go packages are very young (pre-v1, low star counts), so you should expect rough edges. The SWHID working group's [test suite](https://github.com/swhid/test-suite) would be worth running against either implementation to verify correctness.

Here is what I found. The short answer is that there is no direct Go equivalent of diffoscope -- nothing in Go that recursively unpacks archives in all their formats and produces a structural diff the way diffoscope does. What exists falls into a few narrower categories.

---

**Closest to diffoscope in spirit (container-scoped):**

- [**diffoci**](https://github.com/reproducible-containers/diffoci) -- 551 stars, written in Go, actively maintained (last push Feb 2026). Diffs Docker and OCI container images. It can recursively compare image layers, file contents, and metadata. Has a `--semantic` flag to ignore timestamps and other noise. Built by the reproducible-containers project. This is the closest thing to diffoscope in Go, but scoped to container images rather than arbitrary archives.

- [**container-diff**](https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/container-diff) -- 3,801 stars, written in Go, but **archived in March 2024** and no longer maintained. Was Google's tool for analyzing and comparing container images (file system, packages, pip, npm, etc.). Dead project at this point.

**Archive/artifact comparison:**

- [**artifact-diff**](https://github.com/gesellix/artifact-diff) -- 0 stars, written in Go, actively maintained (last push Feb 2026). Compares directories and zip/jar artifacts, producing reports in plain text, JSON, or YAML. Very small project, basically one person's tool, but it does the thing of cracking open archives and comparing contents.

**Binary diff/patch (not structural, but binary-level):**

- [**xferspdy**](https://github.com/monmohan/xferspdy) -- 101 stars, Go, last push April 2021 (dormant). Provides binary diff and patch using rolling hash and block matching. Listed in Awesome Go. This is rsync-style binary diffing, not structural comparison of archive contents.

**Text/structure diffing libraries (not archive-aware):**

- [**sergi/go-diff**](https://github.com/sergi/go-diff) -- 2,046 stars, Go, maintained. Port of Google's diff-match-patch. Text diffing only.

- [**r3labs/diff**](https://github.com/r3labs/diff) -- 986 stars, Go, maintained. Diffs Go structs using reflection. Useful for comparing deserialized data, not files/archives directly.

- [**kilianpaquier/compare**](https://github.com/kilianpaquier/compare) -- 4 stars, Go, actively maintained (push today). Compares files and directories using Go's internal diff library. No archive unpacking.

- [**qri-io/deepdiff**](https://github.com/qri-io/deepdiff) -- 19 stars, Go, last push May 2021 (dormant). Structured data differ for JSON/CBOR/CSV. Not archive-aware.

- [**spcau/godiff**](https://github.com/spcau/godiff) -- 49 stars, HTML output. Last push 2015, effectively abandoned.

---

The gap is clear: nobody has written a Go tool that does what diffoscope does across arbitrary archive formats (zip, tar, tar.gz, deb, rpm, ISO, etc.) with recursive unpacking and format-aware rendering. diffoci comes closest but only for container images. artifact-diff handles zip/jar but is tiny and limited. If you wanted to build this in Go, you would likely combine [mholt/archiver](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/mholt/archiver/v4) (which handles many archive formats) with a text diffing library like sergi/go-diff, plus format-specific decoders for things like ELF binaries, PDF, etc. That is roughly what diffoscope does in Python with libarchive and a long list of format handlers.

Here's the breakdown. The blog post lists seven Ruby gems, all of which you wrote:

| Ruby gem | What it does | Go equivalent |
|---|---|---|
| **purl** | Parse/generate Package URLs | **You already wrote this** in git-pkgs |
| **vers** | Version range spec (VERS format) | **You already wrote this** in git-pkgs |
| **sbom** | Parse/generate SPDX & CycloneDX | **You already wrote this** in git-pkgs (generation at least) |
| **swhid** | Software Hash IDentifiers | **You already wrote this** -- `andrew/swhid-go` on GitHub |
| **changelog-parser** | Structured release notes from changelogs | Nothing good exists |
| **diffoscope** | Deep comparison of files/archives | Nothing exists |
| **sarif** | SARIF static analysis format | **owenrumney/go-sarif** covers this well |

So you've already got Go versions of four out of seven. For the remaining three:

**SARIF** -- `owenrumney/go-sarif` (80 stars, v3.3.0, Apache-2.0, actively maintained) is solid. It handles parsing, generation, and validation for both SARIF v2.1.0 and v2.2. It's packaged in Fedora and Debian. Unless you need something the library doesn't do, this one doesn't need a from-scratch rewrite.

**Changelog parsing** -- the Go ecosystem is thin here. `anton-yurchenko/go-changelog` (3 stars) is the most capable, with typed dates and Keep a Changelog scoped categories (Added/Changed/Fixed etc.). `parkr/changelog` (33 stars) is simpler but more established. Neither is widely adopted. Given the low quality of options, writing your own might make more sense, especially if you want to handle the variety of changelog formats your Ruby gem handles.

**Diffoscope** -- nothing in Go does recursive structural comparison across arbitrary archive formats. `diffoci` (551 stars) does this for container images specifically, and you already have an `archives` module in git-pkgs that reads zip/tar/gem formats. But a general-purpose diffoscope equivalent that unpacks nested archives and does format-aware diffing doesn't exist. This would be the biggest lift to build.

Perfect! Now I have a comprehensive understanding of the codebase. Let me compile my findings into a clear report.

## Codebase Exploration Report: Go Library Modules

### Directory Structure Overview

The git-pkgs codebase contains three mature library modules plus a newly created `changelog` folder:
- `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/purl` - Package URL utilities
- `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/vers` - Version range parsing and comparison
- `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/spdx` - SPDX license expression parsing
- `/Users/andrew/code/git-pkgs/changelog` - Empty folder (newly created)

---

### 1. Module Structure: go.mod Files

All modules follow a consistent pattern:

**purl (go.mod)**
```
module github.com/git-pkgs/purl
go 1.25.6
require (
  github.com/git-pkgs/packageurl-go v0.2.1
  github.com/git-pkgs/vers v0.2.2
)
```

**vers (go.mod)**
```
module github.com/git-pkgs/vers
go 1.25.6
```

**spdx (go.mod)**
```
module github.com/git-pkgs/spdx
go 1.25.6
require github.com/github/go-spdx/v2 v2.3.6
```

**Key observations:**
- All use Go 1.25.6
- Module paths use `github.com/git-pkgs/<name>` format
- Minimal dependencies (vers has none; purl depends on packageurl-go and vers; spdx depends on go-spdx)
- Each module is independently versioned as a separate git repository

---

### 2. Public API Patterns

#### Type Definition Pattern
Each module exports a primary type or interface:

**purl**
- `type PURL struct` - wraps `packageurl.PackageURL` (composition pattern)
- `type TypeConfig struct` - configuration for PURL types (embedded JSON data)
- `type RegistryConfig struct` - registry URL templates
- `type RegistryComponents struct` - metadata about registry URL components

**vers**
- `type Range struct` - represents version ranges with intervals
- `type Interval struct` - single version bound
- `type VersionInfo struct` - parsed version components
- `type Constraint struct` - single version constraint
- `type Parser struct` - stateless parser

**spdx**
- `type Expression interface` - polymorphic expression type
- `type License struct` - concrete license implementation
- `type LicenseRef struct` - custom license reference
- `type Category string` - enum of license categories
- Note: Uses interfaces to allow different expression types

#### Constructor Functions
All modules use simple, idiomatic Go constructors:

```go
// purl - Parse strings, create from components
func Parse(s string) (*PURL, error)
func New(purlType, namespace, name, version string, qualifiers map[string]string) *PURL

// vers - Multiple constructors for different sources
func Parse(versURI string) (*Range, error)
func ParseNative(constraint string, scheme string) (*Range, error)
func ParseVersion(s string) (*VersionInfo, error)

// spdx - Normalize and validate licenses
func Normalize(license string) (string, error)
func NormalizeExpression(expression string) (string, error)
```

#### Method Receivers
Consistent use of receiver style:
- Data transformation methods use value receivers when returning new values
- Query methods use pointer receivers (or value receivers for small types)

```go
// purl - examples of immutability pattern
func (p *PURL) WithVersion(version string) *PURL    // returns new copy
func (p *PURL) WithoutVersion() *PURL               // returns new copy
func (p *PURL) WithQualifier(key, value string) *PURL  // returns new copy

// vers - Range query methods
func (r *Range) Contains(version string) bool
func (r *Range) IsEmpty() bool

// spdx - Expression methods
func (l *License) String() string
func (l *License) Licenses() []string
```

#### Error Handling
Consistent error patterns:
- Return `(result, error)` tuples
- No custom error types; use wrapped errors with descriptive messages
- Example: `fmt.Errorf("invalid vers URI format: %s", versURI)`

```go
// spdx uses sentinel errors
var ErrInvalidLicense = errors.New("invalid license")
```

---

### 3. Test Patterns

#### Test Framework
All modules use the standard Go `testing` package (no third-party frameworks):
- `import "testing"`
- `func TestXxx(t *testing.T)` convention
- `t.Run()` for subtests and naming

#### Table-Driven Tests
Universal pattern across all modules:

```go
func TestParse(t *testing.T) {
  tests := []struct {
    input   string
    want    string
    wantErr bool
    // ... other fields
  }{
    {"input1", "expected1", false},
    {"input2", "expected2", false},
    // ... more cases
  }

  for _, tt := range tests {
    t.Run(tt.input, func(t *testing.T) {
      got, err := FunctionUnderTest(tt.input)
      if (err != nil) != tt.wantErr {
        t.Errorf("error = %v, wantErr %v", err, tt.wantErr)
        return
      }
      if got != tt.want {
        t.Errorf("got %q, want %q", got, tt.want)
      }
    })
  }
}
```

#### Test Organization
- One test file per main module file (e.g., `purl.go` paired with `purl_test.go`)
- Focused unit tests with minimal setup
- Field-specific assertions (check Type, Namespace, Name separately rather than comparing full objects)

#### Fixture Pattern
Data-driven tests use inline maps when comprehensive:

```go
var normalizeTestCases = map[string]string{
  "MIT": "MIT",
  "Apache 2": "Apache-2.0",
  "GPL v3": "GPL-3.0-or-later",
}

func TestNormalize(t *testing.T) {
  for input, want := range normalizeTestCases {
    t.Run(input, func(t *testing.T) {
      // test logic
    })
  }
}
```

#### Named Test Cases
Some tests use named struct fields for clarity:

```go
tests := []struct {
  name    string
  input   string
  version string
  want    bool
}{
  {"exact version", "vers:npm/=1.0.0", "1.0.0", true},
}
```

---

### 4. Shared Patterns Across Modules

#### Lazy Initialization with sync.Once
Multiple modules cache parsed data at module initialization:

**vers**
```go
var versionCache = &boundedCache{
  items: make(map[string]*VersionInfo),
  max:   10000,
}

// Cache with bounded size to prevent memory bloat
```

**spdx**
```go
var (
  categoryOnce sync.Once
  categoryMap  map[string]Category
)

func initCategoryMap() {
  categoryOnce.Do(func() {
    // Load and parse data once
  })
}
```

#### Embedded JSON Data
Both purl and spdx embed static data:

```go
//go:embed types.json
var typesJSON []byte

//go:embed licenses.json
var licensesJSON []byte
```

This avoids external file dependencies and ensures data availability at runtime.

#### Slice Type Wrapping
Custom receiver methods on slices (Go 1.18+ style):

```go
// purl wraps packageurl.Qualifiers to add methods
type PURL struct {
  packageurl.PackageURL
}
```

#### Functional Builders
Simple builder patterns without options struct complexity:

```go
// purl - qualifiers as map parameter
func New(purlType, namespace, name, version string, qualifiers map[string]string) *PURL

// vers - range builders as convenience functions
func Exact(version string) *Range
func GreaterThan(version string, inclusive bool) *Range
```

#### Validation as First-Class Citizens
All modules provide validation functions:

```go
// purl
func IsKnownType(purlType string) bool

// vers
func Valid(version string) bool

// spdx
func Valid(expression string) bool
func ValidLicense(license string) bool
```

#### Idempotent Operations
Methods that transform data return new instances without modifying originals:

```go
// purl - creates new PURL with modified version
p1 := purl.Parse("pkg:npm/lodash@1.0.0")
p2 := p1.WithVersion("2.0.0")
// p1.Version still "1.0.0", p2.Version is "2.0.0"
```

#### String Representation
All types implement `String()` for printing/serialization:

```go
func (p *PURL) String() string
func (v *VersionInfo) String() string
func (l *License) String() string
```

---

### 5. API Documentation Pattern

Modules use `doc.go` files with package-level documentation:

**purl/doc.go** - Organized sections:
- Package description and purpose
- `# Parsing and Creating PURLs` - with code examples
- `# Registry URLs` - with code examples
- `# Type Configuration` - with code examples
- `# Private Registries` - with code examples

Pattern: Brief description followed by `# Section` headings with runnable code examples.

---

### 6. The changelog Folder

Status: **Empty directory** (no files)

Likely intended for:
- Module changelog data (currently not populated)
- Future structured changelog entries for the module ecosystem
- Could follow a similar embedded data pattern as types.json and licenses.json

---

### 7. Key Design Principles

1. **Minimal Dependencies** - Each module is self-contained with few external deps
2. **Immutability** - Operations return new instances rather than modifying state
3. **Standard Library First** - No reflection, no builders, no options structs
4. **Composition over Inheritance** - PURL embeds PackageURL, doesn't wrap it fully
5. **Interface-Driven** - spdx uses Expression interface for polymorphism
6. **Testing as Documentation** - Table-driven tests serve as examples
7. **Embed Static Data** - JSON data is compiled in, not loaded from files
8. **Error Transparency** - No custom error types, standard wrapped errors
9. **Caching for Performance** - Version parsing cached with bounded size
10. **Convenience Functions** - `Satisfies()`, `Contains()` provide high-level APIs alongside lower-level builders

---

## Changelog Parser Gem - Complete Analysis

I've thoroughly explored the changelog-parser gem. Here's a complete picture of what it does:

### Overview

The `changelog-parser` gem is a Ruby library (v0.2.0) that parses changelog files into structured data. It supports multiple changelog formats and provides both a Ruby API and command-line interface for accessing and querying changelog content.

### Public API Surface

#### Main Class: `Changelog::Parser`

**Constructor:**
```ruby
Changelog::Parser.new(changelog, format: nil, version_pattern: nil, match_group: 1)
```

**Instance Methods:**
- `parse()` - Returns a hash of all versions with their dates and content
- `versions()` - Returns an array of version strings in order
- `[](version)` - Bracket accessor to get a specific version entry
- `to_h()` - Alias for parse()
- `to_json(*)` - Converts parsed result to JSON
- `to_html()` - Converts markdown content to HTML (requires markdown gem)
- `render_html(content)` - Internal HTML rendering method
- `between(old_version, new_version)` - Extracts changelog content between two versions (supports ascending/descending order, nil boundaries)
- `line_for_version(version)` - Finds the line number of a version header
- `find_version_matches()` - Internal method using StringScanner to find all version headers
- `extract_date(match_data)` - Internal date extraction
- `build_entry(match, content)` - Internal entry construction
- `resolve_pattern(format, custom_pattern)` - Internal pattern resolution
- `detect_format()` - Internal format detection

**Class Methods:**
- `Changelog::Parser.parse(changelog, **options)` - Parse a string
- `Changelog::Parser.parse_file(path, **options)` - Parse a file by path
- `Changelog::Parser.find_changelog(directory)` - Locate changelog file in a directory
- `Changelog::Parser.find_and_parse(directory, **options)` - Find and parse in one step

**Constants & Error Classes:**
- `VERSION = "0.2.0"`
- `Changelog::Parser::Error` - Base exception
- `Changelog::Parser::ParseError` - Parse-specific exception

### Supported Changelog Formats

The parser supports three built-in formats with automatic detection:

#### 1. Keep a Changelog (Default)
Pattern: `## [VERSION] - YYYY-MM-DD` or `## [Unreleased]`
```markdown
## [Unreleased]

## [1.0.0] - 2024-01-15

### Added
- Feature
```
Uses: `KEEP_A_CHANGELOG` regex

#### 2. Markdown Headers
Pattern: `## VERSION` or `### vVERSION (YYYY-MM-DD)`
```markdown
## 2.0.0 (2024-03-01)

## 1.5.0

### 1.4.2 (2024-01-10)
```
Uses: `MARKDOWN_HEADER` regex (supports 1-3 hashes, optional `v` prefix, optional dates)

#### 3. Underline Style (Setext)
Pattern: `VERSION` followed by `=====` or `-----`
```markdown
1.0.0
=====

2.1.0
-----
```
Uses: `UNDERLINE_HEADER` regex

#### 4. Custom Patterns
Users can provide their own regex:
```ruby
pattern = /^Version ([\d.]+) released (\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2})/
parser = Changelog::Parser.new(content, version_pattern: pattern)
```
First capture group must be the version, optional second group is the date.

### Data Structures Returned

**Standard Parser Output:**
```ruby
{
  "VERSION_STRING" => {
    date: Date.new(2024, 1, 15),  # nil for Unreleased
    content: "### Added\n- Feature\n..."
  }
}
```

**to_html() Output:**
```ruby
{
  "VERSION_STRING" => {
    date: Date.new(2024, 1, 15),
    content: "<h3>Added</h3><ul><li>Feature</li></ul>"
  }
}
```

**to_json() Output:**
- Same structure as parse() but serialized as JSON (dates converted to ISO strings)

**versions() Output:**
```ruby
["Unreleased", "1.1.0", "1.0.1", "1.0.0"]
```

**between() Output:**
```ruby
"## [1.1.0] - 2024-03-15\n\n### Added\n...\n## [1.0.1] - 2024-02-01"
```

### Parsing Strategy

The parser uses a **StringScanner-based approach**:

1. **Format Detection** (if not explicit):
   - Tests for Keep a Changelog pattern first
   - Falls back to Underline if not found
   - Defaults to Markdown Headers

2. **Version Discovery**:
   - Scans the entire changelog with the selected regex pattern
   - Captures version string and optional date for each match
   - Stores match positions (start/end)

3. **Content Extraction**:
   - Content for each version spans from end of header to start of next header
   - Last version's content extends to end of file
   - Content is stripped of leading/trailing whitespace

4. **Date Parsing**:
   - Extracts date from regex capture group (if present)
   - Uses `Date.parse()` with rescue fallback if parsing fails
   - Returns nil for unparseable dates

### Version Matching

The `line_for_version()` method handles intelligent version lookup:
- Strips `v` prefix from search strings
- Uses regex word boundaries to avoid substring matches (e.g., 1.0.1 won't match 1.0.10)
- Excludes version range patterns like `1.0.0..2.0.0`
- Recognizes multiple version header styles:
  - Markdown headers (`#`, `##`, `###`)
  - Underlined versions (`===`, `---`)
  - Bullet points (`- version X`)
  - Colons (`1.0.0: Description`)
  - Bracket notation (`[1.0.0]`)
  - ISO dates (`2024-01-15`)

### Finding Changelog Files

`find_changelog()` searches for common filenames in priority order:
- changelog, news, changes, history, release, whatsnew, releases
- Matches with extensions: .md, .txt, .rst, .rdoc, .markdown (case-insensitive)
- Filters out .sh files
- Size validation: 100-1,000,000 bytes

### Vandamme Compatibility Layer

For projects migrating from the `vandamme` gem:
```ruby
require "changelog/parser/vandamme"

parser = Vandamme::Parser.new(
  changelog: content,
  version_header_exp: pattern,
  format: :markdown,
  match_group: 1
)
parser.parse  # Returns plain strings, not hashes
parser.to_html  # Returns strings of HTML, not structured hashes
```

### Test Coverage - Edge Cases Handled

The gem has 48+ tests covering:

1. **Format Detection**: Auto-detect all three formats
2. **Version Formats**:
   - Prerelease versions (1.0.0-beta.1)
   - Build metadata (1.0.0+build.123)
   - Complex prerelease (2.0.0-x.7.z.92)
   - Unreleased sections (no date)
   - With v prefix stripping

3. **Content Preservation**:
   - Markdown links intact
   - Inline code preserved
   - Mixed list markers (-, *)
   - Nested lists
   - Link references at end

4. **Version Boundary Issues**:
   - Substring matching avoidance (1.0.1 vs 1.0.10)
   - Range notation exclusion (1.0.0..2.0.0)
   - Empty version content handling
   - Version order preservation (as-is, not sorted)

5. **Between() Method**:
   - Extract between two versions
   - Extract from start to version
   - Extract from version to end
   - Handles ascending and descending changelogs
   - Handles neither version found

6. **File Operations**:
   - Empty changelogs
   - Nil input
   - Parse file by path
   - Find changelog in directory
   - Find and parse combined

7. **HTML Conversion**:
   - Supports commonmarker, redcarpet, kramdown
   - Raises error if no markdown gem installed
   - Preserves dates in HTML output

8. **CLI Operations**:
   - Parse to JSON
   - List versions
   - Show specific version
   - Extract between versions
   - Validate against Keep a Changelog format
   - Pretty JSON output
   - Stdin input support

### Command-Line Interface

Available commands:
- `parse [file]` - Default, outputs JSON
- `list [file]` - List version numbers
- `show VERSION [file]` - Show content for version
- `between VERSION1 VERSION2 [file]` - Extract between versions
- `validate [file]` - Validate against Keep a Changelog

Options:
- `-f, --format` - Specify format (keep_a_changelog, markdown, underline)
- `-p, --pattern` - Custom regex pattern
- `-m, --match-group` - Regex capture group for version (default: 1)
- `--pretty` - Pretty print JSON
- `-h, --help` - Show help
- `--version` - Show gem version

### Dependencies

- Ruby >= 3.2.0 required
- Core: Only standard library (strscan, date, json, optparse)
- Optional: commonmarker, redcarpet, or kramdown for HTML conversion

### HTML Rendering

Auto-detects installed markdown gems in order:
1. Commonmarker (via `Commonmarker.to_html`)
2. CommonMarker (via `CommonMarker.render_html`)
3. Redcarpet (via Redcarpet::Markdown)
4. Kramdown (via Kramdown::Document)

Raises `Changelog::Parser::Error` if none available but to_html() called.

### Validation Logic

The validate command checks:
- At least one version found
- Presence of [Unreleased] section (warning)
- Versions have content (warning)
- Dates in descending order (warning)
- All versions except Unreleased have dates (warning)
- Only errors prevent success exit

{
  "content": "# Go changelog-parser library\n\nPort of the Ruby `changelog-parser` gem as a Go library module at `github.com/git-pkgs/changelog`, following the same patterns as `purl`, `vers`, and `spdx`.\n\n## What it does\n\nParses changelog files (Keep a Changelog, markdown headers, setext/underline style) into structured entries with version, date, and content.
