XML Data Engine & Tabular Explorer

The Carbon Modular Engine includes native XML dataset integration, enabling build-time statistical parsing and high-performance client-side exploration of hierarchical XML data without third-party dependencies.

1. Declarative XML Table Shortcode

The {{< xml-table >}} shortcode ingests raw XML files (such as telemetry logs, power grid feeds, institutional registries, or sensor matrices), computes key performance indicators at build time, and renders an accessible Carbon Design System data table:

2. Key Architecture Features

• Build-Time Computation: Pre-computes total records, cumulative capacity, mean output, and generation efficiency at compile time via Hugo’s native transform.Unmarshal engine, ensuring instant first-contentful-paint (FCP).
• Client-Side Live Filtering: Instant live text filtering and column sorting across all numeric and string columns powered by assets/js/xml-engine.js.
• Zero Runtime Dependencies: Native browser DOMParser and DOM manipulation with zero heavy table libraries.
• Direct Data Download: Includes one-click direct download of the underlying XML document.
• Strict Carbon Design Tokens: Zebra striping, compact row heights, monospace telemetry identifiers, and color-coded status badges.
