## 🔧 Core Components

### `FormatProcessor` - Main Orchestrator

The central class that coordinates all format handlers in a processing pipeline.

```typescript
import { FormatProcessor } from '@fustilio/data-loader';

const processor = new FormatProcessor();

const result = await processor.processData(arrayBuffer, {
  projectId: 'my-project:1.0',
  enableTarExtraction: true
});

if (result.success) {
  console.log('XML content:', result.xmlContent);
  console.log('Processing steps:', result.processingSteps);
  console.log('Content type:', result.contentType);
  console.log('Confidence:', result.confidence);
} else {
  console.error('Processing failed:', result.error);
}
```

### `ContentTypeDetector` - Format Detection

Intelligently detects file formats from decompressed content with confidence levels.

```typescript
import { ContentTypeDetector } from '@fustilio/data-loader';

const detector = new ContentTypeDetector();
const analysis = detector.detectContentType(xmlText, 'my-project:1.0');

console.log('Detected type:', analysis.type);        // 'xml', 'tar', 'tsv', 'unknown'
console.log('Confidence:', analysis.confidence);     // 'high', 'medium', 'low'
console.log('Indicators:', analysis.indicators);     // Detailed detection info
```

### `GzipHandler` - Gzip Decompression

Handles gzip decompression with detailed logging and timeout protection.

```typescript
import { GzipHandler } from '@fustilio/data-loader';

const gzipHandler = new GzipHandler();

if (gzipHandler.isGzipCompressed(data)) {
  const result = await gzipHandler.decompress(data);
  
  if (result.success) {
    console.log('Decompressed size:', result.decompressedSize);
    console.log('XML content:', result.data);
  } else {
    console.error('Decompression failed:', result.error);
  }
}
```

### `XzHandler` - XZ Decompression

Handles XZ decompression using the `xz-decompress` library.

```typescript
import { XzHandler } from '@fustilio/data-loader';

const xzHandler = new XzHandler();

if (xzHandler.isXzCompressed(data)) {
  const result = await xzHandler.decompress(data);
  
  if (result.success) {
    console.log('Decompressed size:', result.decompressedSize);
    console.log('XML content:', result.data);
  }
}
```

### `TarHandler` - Archive Extraction

Extracts tar archives to find XML files with fallback methods.

```typescript
import { TarHandler } from '@fustilio/data-loader';

const tarHandler = new TarHandler();

if (tarHandler.isTarArchive(content)) {
  const result = await tarHandler.extractTarArchive(data);
  
  if (result.success) {
    console.log('Extracted files:', result.extractedFiles.length);
    console.log('XML content:', result.xmlContent);
  }
}
```

## 🛠️ Development

### Adding New Format Handlers

1. **Create Handler Class**:
```typescript
export class NewFormatHandler {
  isNewFormat(data: Uint8Array): boolean {
    // Detection logic
  }
  
  async process(data: ArrayBuffer): Promise<ProcessingResult> {
    // Processing logic
  }
}
```

2. **Integrate with FormatProcessor**:
```typescript
// Add to FormatProcessor constructor
private newFormatHandler: NewFormatHandler;

// Add to processData method
if (this.newFormatHandler.isNewFormat(view)) {
  // Processing logic
}
```

3. **Add Tests**:
```typescript
describe('NewFormatHandler', () => {
  it('should detect new format', () => {
    // Test detection
  });
  
  it('should process new format', async () => {
    // Test processing
  });
});
```

### Error Handling

```typescript
try {
  const result = await processor.processData(data, options);
  
  if (!result.success) {
    console.error('Processing failed:', result.error);
    console.log('Processing steps:', result.processingSteps);
    return;
  }
  
  // Use result.xmlContent
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Unexpected error:', error);
}
```

## 🔍 Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Decompression Failures**:
- Check data integrity and format
- Verify compression method compatibility
- Check available memory and disk space

**Format Detection Issues**:
- Verify content type indicators
- Check project ID configuration
- Review detection confidence levels

**Tar Extraction Problems**:
- Verify tar archive integrity
- Check for expected files in archive
- Review extraction permissions

### Debug Information

```typescript
const result = await processor.processData(data, options);

console.log('Processing steps:', result.processingSteps);
console.log('Content type:', result.contentType);
console.log('Confidence:', result.confidence);
console.log('Processing time:', result.totalProcessingTime + 'ms');
console.log('Size reduction:', result.originalSize + ' → ' + result.finalSize);
```

## 🔌 Extensibility & Plugin Architecture

The data-loader is designed to be highly extensible and overridable, allowing you to add custom handlers, modify behavior, and integrate with your specific use cases.

### 🚀 Quick Start with Extensibility

```typescript
import { createDefaultProcessorFactory, ProcessorFactory } from '@fustilio/data-loader';

// Use default handlers
const factory = createDefaultProcessorFactory();
const processor = factory.createProcessor();

// Or create custom configuration
const customFactory = new ProcessorFactory({
  processing: {
    maxFileSize: 50 * 1024 * 1024,
    enableLogging: true
  }
});
```

### 🛠️ Custom Handlers

Create your own handlers for new formats:

```typescript
import { CompressionHandler, ContentTypeHandler, ArchiveHandler } from '@fustilio/data-loader';

// Custom compression handler
class ZipCompressionHandler implements CompressionHandler {
  getFormatName() { return "zip"; }
  getMimeType() { return "application/zip"; }
  getFileExtensions() { return [".zip"]; }
  isCompressed(data: Uint8Array) { /* detection logic */ }
  async decompress(data: Uint8Array) { /* decompression logic */ }
}

// Custom content type handler
class JsonContentTypeHandler implements ContentTypeHandler {
  getFormatName() { return "json"; }
  getMimeType() { return "application/json"; }
  getFileExtensions() { return [".json"]; }
  detectContentType(content: string, projectId: string) { /* detection logic */ }
}

// Register custom handlers
const factory = new ProcessorFactory();
factory.registerCompressionHandler(new ZipCompressionHandler());
factory.registerContentTypeHandler(new JsonContentTypeHandler());
```

### ⚙️ Configuration & Overrides

```typescript
import { DataLoaderConfig, HandlerPriority } from '@fustilio/data-loader';

const config: DataLoaderConfig = {
  // Enable/disable specific handlers
  enabledHandlers: {
    compression: ["gzip", "zip"],
    contentType: ["content-type", "json"]
  },
  
  // Set handler priorities
  handlerPriorities: {
    "zip": HandlerPriority.HIGH,
    "json": HandlerPriority.CRITICAL
  },
  
  // Processing options
  processing: {
    maxFileSize: 100 * 1024 * 1024,
    processingTimeout: 60000,
    enableLogging: true
  }
};

const factory = createDefaultProcessorFactory(config);
```

### 🔄 Handler Management

```typescript
// Enable/disable handlers dynamically
factory.setHandlerEnabled("gzip", false);
factory.setHandlerEnabled("zip", true);

// Unregister handlers
factory.unregisterHandler("xz");

// Get statistics
const stats = factory.getStats();
console.log("Available handlers:", stats);

// Get available handlers
const processor = factory.createProcessor();
const available = processor.getAvailableHandlers();
```

### 📚 Advanced Examples

See the [extensibility documentation](./docs/EXTENSIBILITY.md) for comprehensive examples including:
- Custom handler implementations
- Handler override patterns
- Dynamic handler loading
- Configuration management
- Integration examples

### 🔗 Chainable Processing

The data-loader supports chainable processing patterns for complex data workflows:

```typescript
import { createChainManager, ChainAPI } from '@fustilio/data-loader';

// Quick chain creation
const decompressionChain = ChainAPI.decompress(["gzip", "xz"]);
const validationChain = ChainAPI.validate(["xml-validator", "schema-validator"]);

// Custom chain building
const manager = createChainManager();
const customChain = manager.createCustomChain()
  .addStep({
    id: "detect-format",
    operation: "detect",
    handler: "content-type",
    next: ["decompress", "validate"]
  })
  .addStep({
    id: "decompress",
    operation: "decompress",
    handler: "auto",
    conditions: [{
      type: "if",
      expression: "context.metadata.contentType === 'compressed'"
    }],
    retry: { attempts: 3, delay: 1000 }
  })
  .addStep({
    id: "validate",
    operation: "validate",
    handler: "validator",
    next: []
  })
  .setEntryPoint("detect-format")
  .setExitPoints(["validate"])
  .build();

// Execute chain
const result = await manager.executePattern(customChain.name, data);
```

### 🎯 Use Cases

The extensibility and chainability systems enable:
- **Domain-specific formats**: Add support for specialized data formats
- **Custom validation**: Implement project-specific validation logic
- **Performance optimization**: Override handlers with optimized implementations
- **Integration**: Seamlessly integrate with existing data processing pipelines
- **Testing**: Mock handlers for comprehensive testing scenarios
- **Complex workflows**: Build sophisticated processing chains with conditions and retries
- **Pattern reuse**: Create reusable processing patterns and templates
