Blend.Datastore Off-site link

Bob Davidson

This is a minimalist SQL migration system and access pattern. It provides rudimentary database migration capabilities, and a relatively simple pattern for executing queries and transactions against a database. Blend.Datastore does not feature any DSL for migrations/queries/etc, but rather executes SQL that you provide.

Blend HTML Lexer Off-site link

Bob Davidson

Blend.Html.Lexer is .NET Netstandard library for lexing HTML. This library is intended for when you need to manipulate HTML, without needing a full and valid DOM. It's meant to be reasonably performant, and maintain as much of the original (possibly invalid) syntax as possible.

Blend.ActionQueue Off-site link

Bob Davidson

A simple, non-durable queue for when you need something like a message queue, but with minimal setup, for small low-volume messages or actions where persistence is not a requirement.

Blend.XmlLexer Off-site link

Bob Davidson

Blend.XmlLexer is a small utility for quickly parsing large XML files. It works by wrapping XmlTextReader with a builder-like interface to create (relatively) simple parsing pipelines for forward-only XML parsing.
