  description: 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.
