Plugin Subrecord Parsing #3

Closed stephen-bunn closed 6 years ago

stephen-bunn commented 6 years ago

The most critical and logically difficult problem for parsing plugins is determining the subrecord structure to use for parsing the subrecord. This is difficult due to how nested subrecord collections are allowed including the options to be optional and multiple.

[x] Handle flat subrecord structures
[x] Handle "optional" subrecord structures
[x] Handle "multiple" subrecord structures
[x] Handle infinitely nested subrecord collections
[x] Handle "optional" subrecord collections
[x] Handle "multiple" subrecord collections

Logic for proper plugin parsing is being developed in feature/plugin-parsing.
