paramour (core)

paramour is the framework-agnostic core: the p.* codec builders, the route-object constructors and their parse methods, href for typed URL building, the standalone search/path helpers, the reflection API, and the ParamourError hierarchy. Everything documented in this section is imported from the package barrel (import { … } from "paramour"), and every code block is compiled against the real package on each docs build — hover anything to see what the compiler sees.

Pages

• p.* builders — every built-in codec: wire grammars, accept/reject tables, schema slots, and list arities.
• Codec & modifiers — the Codec interface, .optional()/.default()/.catch(), and the type-state rules that make illegal chains fail to compile.
• Routes — defineAppRoute, definePagesRoute, the parse methods, and the registry types.
• href & path building — building typed, serialized URLs from route objects, plus the path-side helpers: buildPath, encodeParams, encodeStaticParams, and decodeParams.
• Search helpers — the standalone search encode/decode surface: decodeSearch, encodeSearch, buildSearchString, rawSearch, and standardSearchSchema.
• describeCodec & describeRoute — the reflection API that powers paramour list and paramour doctor.
• Errors — the ParamourError hierarchy and the Issue shape shared by every failed decode.

The paramour/internal entry

The package also ships a paramour/internal subpath exposing foreignMessage and codecShapeLabel. It exists for derived tooling — the devtools panel, adapters — so reflection-driven consumers can share core's implementation instead of re-deriving it. It is not for app authors and is deliberately undocumented beyond this paragraph, but it is covered by semver like the main entry: within a major version its exports only ever grow.
