      A unified semantic parsing engine that underpins all SpecLynx products.
      ApiDOM parses OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, Arazzo, and JSON Schema specifications
      into a semantic data model with lossless preservation of comments, key
      ordering, and source maps. Built on Tree-sitter for error recovery during
      editing. Isomorphic — works identically in Node.js and browser environments.
