This commit adds the json-java21-transforms module which implements the
Microsoft JSON Document Transforms specification from:
https://github.com/Microsoft/json-document-transforms/wiki

Features:
- Parse phase: compile transform specs into immutable AST
- Apply phase: apply transforms to JSON documents
- Supported directives:
  - @jdt.value: set/create property value
  - @jdt.remove: remove property
  - @jdt.rename: rename property
  - @jdt.replace: replace existing value only
  - @jdt.merge: deep merge objects
- JsonPath integration for node selection via @jdt.path
- Reusable transforms (parse once, apply many)
- Comprehensive test coverage (43 tests)

Module structure follows existing patterns (json-java21-jtd, json-java21-jsonpath):
- Immutable record-based AST
- Two-phase parse/apply design
- JUL logging at appropriate levels
- Test base class for logging config

To run tests:
./mvnw test -pl json-java21-transforms -am

Summary of Changes

Hello @simbo1905, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request significantly extends the project's JSON manipulation capabilities by integrating a new json-java21-transforms module. This module provides a declarative and structured approach to modifying JSON documents, allowing users to define complex transformations using a specification-driven syntax. The implementation is designed for efficiency and reusability, offering a powerful tool for data restructuring and processing.

Highlights

  • New JSON Transforms Module: Introduces json-java21-transforms for declarative JSON document transformations.
  • Microsoft Specification Adherence: Implements transformations based on the Microsoft JSON Document Transforms specification.
  • Comprehensive Operations: Supports a range of operations including @jdt.path, @jdt.value, @jdt.remove, @jdt.rename, @jdt.replace, and @jdt.merge.
  • JsonPath Integration: Leverages json-java21-jsonpath for powerful node selection within transform specifications.
  • Robust Design: Features a two-phase parse/apply pattern, immutable AST nodes, pre-compiled JsonPath expressions, and stack-based evaluation for efficiency and reliability.

P1 Badge Honor nested @jdt.path directives

The parser drops nested @jdt.path directives: in parseDirective, the PATH branch builds pathNodes but then yield null, and parseTransformObject never converts that into a PathTransform. As a result, a transform like { "items": { "@jdt.path": "$.items[*]", "status": {"@jdt.value": "x"} } } ignores the path filter and applies the nested operations as if @jdt.path were absent. This breaks the spec’s targeted transforms because the selector is never represented in the AST.

P1 Badge Apply root @jdt.path filtering

Even when a root @jdt.path is parsed, applyWithPathSelector ignores it and just calls applyTransformNodes on the entire source object. That means transforms meant to apply only to matches (e.g., @jdt.path: "$.users[*]") will still apply globally, which is a functional mismatch with the JSON Transforms spec and can corrupt unrelated parts of the document.

Code Review

This pull request introduces an initial implementation of JSON Transforms, which is a valuable addition to the project. The overall structure, use of modern Java features like records and sealed interfaces for the AST, and the implementation of basic transform operations are well done.

However, there are critical issues with the implementation of the @jdt.path feature, which is a core part of the functionality. The parser currently fails to handle nested @jdt.path directives, and the application logic does not correctly apply transforms to the nodes selected by a path. This makes the feature non-functional in its current state. Additionally, the test suite is missing coverage for any of the @jdt.path scenarios.

I've provided specific comments on the parts of the code that need to be addressed to make this feature work as intended. I've also noted a minor code cleanup issue.

critical

The implementation of applyWithPathSelector is incomplete. It currently ignores the root pathSelector and applies the transformations to the entire source document by calling applyTransformNodes. The comment on lines 87-88 acknowledges this is a simplified implementation, but this makes the root @jdt.path feature non-functional. The logic should be updated to select the nodes matching the JsonPath and apply the transforms only to those nodes.

critical

The logic for applying a PathTransform is incorrect. It applies the pathTransform.nodes() to the top-level result map, not to the nodes matched by the pathTransform.path(). The matches list is computed but then unused. The transformations should be applied to each of the matched JsonValues. As the comment on lines 191-192 notes, this is a simplified implementation, but it's functionally incorrect.

critical

The parser incorrectly handles nested @jdt.path directives. By yielding null here, the path information is discarded, and a PathTransform AST node is never created for nested transforms. This means that any transform specification using @jdt.path inside a nested object will not work as expected. The logic in parseTransformObject needs to be adjusted to correctly identify when to create a PathTransform node instead of treating it as a standard operation.
