/**
 * @page howtoDataParsers Parsing Data
 *
 * Data parser allows to read instances from a specific format. libyang supports the following data formats:
 *
 * - XML
 *
 *   Original data format used in NETCONF protocol. XML mapping is part of the YANG specification
 *   ([RFC 6020](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6020)).
 *
 * - JSON
 *
 *   The alternative data format available in RESTCONF protocol. Specification of JSON encoding of data modeled by YANG
 *   can be found in [RFC 7951](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7951). The specification does not cover RPCs, actions and
 *   Notifications, so the representation of these data trees is proprietary and corresponds to the representation of these
 *   trees in XML.
 *
 * While the parsers themselves process the input data only syntactically, all the parser functions actually incorporate
 * the [common validator](@ref howtoDataValidation) checking the input data semantically. Therefore, the parser functions
 * accepts two groups of options - @ref dataparseroptions and @ref datavalidationoptions.
 *
 * In contrast to the schema parser, data parser also accepts empty input data if such an empty data tree is valid
 * according to the schemas in the libyang context (i.e. there are no top level mandatory nodes).
 *
 * There are individual functions to process different types of the data instances trees:
 * - ::lyd_parse_data() is intended for standard configuration data trees. According to the given
 *   [parser options](@ref dataparseroptions), the caller can further specify which kind of data tree is expected:
 *   - *complete :running datastore*: this is the default case, possibly with the use of (some of) the
 *     ::LYD_PARSE_STRICT, ::LYD_PARSE_OPAQ or ::LYD_VALIDATE_PRESENT options.
 *   - *complete configuration-only datastore* (such as :startup): in this case it is necessary to except all state data
 *     using ::LYD_PARSE_NO_STATE option.
 *   - *incomplete datastore*: there are situation when the data tree is incomplete or invalid by specification. For
 *     example the *:operational* datastore is not necessarily valid and results of the NETCONF's \<get\> or \<get-config\>
 *     oprations used with filters will be incomplete (and thus invalid). This can be allowed using ::LYD_PARSE_ONLY,
 *     the ::LYD_PARSE_NO_STATE should be used for the data returned by \<get-config\> operation.
 * - ::lyd_parse_ext_data() is used for parsing configuration data trees defined inside extension instances, such as
 *   instances of yang-data extension specified in [RFC 8040](http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8040).
 * - ::lyd_parse_op() is used for parsing RPCs/actions, replies, and notifications. Even NETCONF rpc, rpc-reply, and
 *   notification messages are supported.
 * - ::lyd_parse_ext_op() is used for parsing RPCs/actions, replies, and notifications defined inside extension instances.
 *
 * Further information regarding the processing input instance data can be found on the following pages.
 * - @subpage howtoDataValidation
 * - @subpage howtoDataWD
 *

 * - ::lyd_parse_data()

/**
 * @page howtoDataValidation Validating Data
 *
 * Data validation is performed implicitly to the input data processed by the [parser](@ref howtoDataParsers) and
 * on demand via the lyd_validate_*() functions. The explicit validation process is supposed to be used when a (complex or
 * simple) change is done on the data tree (via [data manipulation](@ref howtoDataManipulation) functions) and the data
 * tree is expected to be valid (it doesn't make sense to validate modified result of filtered \<get\> operation).
 *
 * Similarly to the [data parser](@ref howtoDataParsers), there are individual functions to validate standard data tree
 * (::lyd_validate_all()) and RPC, Action and Notification (::lyd_validate_op()). For the standard data trees, it is possible
 * to modify the validation process by @ref datavalidationoptions. This way the state data can be prohibited
 * (::LYD_VALIDATE_NO_STATE) and checking for mandatory nodes can be limited to the YANG modules with already present data
 * instances (::LYD_VALIDATE_PRESENT). Validation of the standard data tree can be also limited with ::lyd_validate_module()
 * function, which scopes only to a specified single YANG module.
 *
 * Since the operation data trees (RPCs, Actions or Notifications) can reference (leafref, instance-identifier, when/must
 * expressions) data from a datastore tree, ::lyd_validate_op() may require additional data tree to be provided. This is a
 * difference in contrast to the parsing process, when the data are loaded from an external source and invalid reference
 * outside the operation tree is acceptable.
 *
 * Functions List
 * --------------
 * - ::lyd_validate_all()
 * - ::lyd_validate_module()
 * - ::lyd_validate_op()

 * - instantiated (status) obsolete data print a warning,
 * - all types are fully resolved (leafref/instance-identifier targets, unions) and must be valid (lists have

 * - when statements on existing nodes are evaluated, if not satisfied, a validation error is raised,
 * - invalid multiple data instances/data from several cases cause a validation error,
