Summary

Closes issue #648.

  • Replace string concatenation with StringBuilder or string interpolation.
  • Introduce StringExtensions.AppendInvariant(StringBuilder, …) as a single cross-TFM API.
  • Add polyfill attributes (InterpolatedStringHandlerAttribute, etc.) for targets below .NET 6 so the compiler can emit correct interpolation code.

Extension method sb.AppendInvariant("...") on .NET 6+ is not possible (CS8944), so a static call is used StringExtensions.AppendInvariant(sb, "...")

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Refactor

    • Optimized string building operations across payload generators for improved memory efficiency
    • Enhanced invariant culture string handling in payment and QR code formats
    • Streamlined PDF generation string construction logic
  • Chores

    • Added internal compiler attribute support for .NET 6+ compatibility

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR systematically refactors QRCoder's payload generators to use invariant-culture interpolated strings instead of string concatenation. It adds compiler attributes for pre-.NET 6 compatibility, introduces an AppendInvariant extension helper, and applies the pattern across payment, contact, authentication, and PDF generation classes.

Changes

Interpolated String Handler Refactoring

Layer / File(s)Summary
Compiler Attributes & StringExtensions Infrastructure
QRCoder/Attributes/InterpolatedStringHandlerAttributes.cs, QRCoder/Extensions/StringExtensions.cs
Adds InterpolatedStringHandlerAttribute, InterpolatedStringHandlerArgumentAttribute, and CompilerFeatureRequiredAttribute (conditional for !NET6_0_OR_GREATER). Introduces AppendInvariant helper that accepts interpolated-string handler refs for invariant-culture appends, with existing numeric overloads refactored to delegate through it.
Core PayloadGenerator Updates
QRCoder/PayloadGenerator.cs
IsValidIban checksum computation replaces LINQ Aggregate with StringBuilder loop; EscapeInput switches per-character replacement to interpolation; NET5+ conditional code uses interpolated substring construction.
Simple String Format Changes
QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/BitcoinLikeCryptoCurrencyAddress.cs, QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/Mail.cs, QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/Url.cs, QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/WiFi.cs
Straightforward conversions from string concatenation to string interpolation for URL prefixes, query parameters, and HEX-string wrapping—no behavioral changes.
OneTimePassword OTP Query Building
QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/OneTimePassword.cs
HOTP counter, TOTP period, issuer:label combination, and common query fields refactored from sb.Append concatenation to StringExtensions.AppendInvariant with interpolation.
Payment & Financial Payload Builders
QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/BezahlCode.cs, QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/Girocode.cs, QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/RussiaPaymentOrder.cs
BezahlCode non-contact/contact query construction, Girocode BCD payload assembly, and RussiaPaymentOrder mandatory fields refactored to use StringBuilder + AppendInvariant, preserving conditional field inclusion and encoding normalization.
Contact & Address Data Builders
QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/ContactData.cs, QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/SwissQrCode.cs
ContactData (MeCard and vCard output) and SwissQrCode (contact block and full payload) refactored from concatenation to StringBuilder + AppendInvariant, maintaining address ordering rules and conditional formatting by output type/version. Formatting comments updated.
PDF Byte Generation
QRCoder/PdfByteQRCode.cs
PDF object construction (catalog, pages, content stream, xref table, trailer) switched from concatenation to StringBuilder + AppendInvariant; path rectangle commands and color RGB strings use interpolation. xref offset tracking and stream length computation preserved.
Polynomial String Representation
QRCoder/QRCodeGenerator/Polynom.cs
Polynomial term formatting updated to use AppendInvariant with interpolated algebraic notation instead of direct Append concatenation.

Summary

Closes issue #648.

  • Replace string concatenation with StringBuilder or string interpolation.
  • Introduce StringExtensions.AppendInvariant(StringBuilder, …) as a single cross-TFM API.
  • Add polyfill attributes (InterpolatedStringHandlerAttribute, etc.) for targets below .NET 6 so the compiler can emit correct interpolation code.

Extension method sb.AppendInvariant("...") on .NET 6+ is not possible (CS8944), so a static call is used StringExtensions.AppendInvariant(sb, "...")

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Refactor

    • Optimized string building operations across payload generators for improved memory efficiency
    • Enhanced invariant culture string handling in payment and QR code formats
    • Streamlined PDF generation string construction logic
  • Chores

    • Added internal compiler attribute support for .NET 6+ compatibility

Summary

Closes issue #648.

  • Replace string concatenation with StringBuilder or string interpolation.
  • Introduce StringExtensions.AppendInvariant(StringBuilder, …) as a single cross-TFM API.
  • Add polyfill attributes (InterpolatedStringHandlerAttribute, etc.) for targets below .NET 6 so the compiler can emit correct interpolation code.

Extension method sb.AppendInvariant("...") on .NET 6+ is not possible (CS8944), so a static call is used StringExtensions.AppendInvariant(sb, "...")

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Refactor

    • Optimized string building operations across payload generators for improved memory efficiency
    • Enhanced invariant culture string handling in payment and QR code formats
    • Streamlined PDF generation string construction logic
  • Chores

    • Added internal compiler attribute support for .NET 6+ compatibility

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This PR systematically refactors QRCoder's payload generators to use invariant-culture interpolated strings instead of string concatenation. It adds compiler attributes for pre-.NET 6 compatibility, introduces an AppendInvariant extension helper, and applies the pattern across payment, contact, authentication, and PDF generation classes.

Changes

Interpolated String Handler Refactoring

Layer / File(s)Summary
Compiler Attributes & StringExtensions Infrastructure
QRCoder/Attributes/InterpolatedStringHandlerAttributes.cs, QRCoder/Extensions/StringExtensions.cs
Adds InterpolatedStringHandlerAttribute, InterpolatedStringHandlerArgumentAttribute, and CompilerFeatureRequiredAttribute (conditional for !NET6_0_OR_GREATER). Introduces AppendInvariant helper that accepts interpolated-string handler refs for invariant-culture appends, with existing numeric overloads refactored to delegate through it.
Core PayloadGenerator Updates
QRCoder/PayloadGenerator.cs
IsValidIban checksum computation replaces LINQ Aggregate with StringBuilder loop; EscapeInput switches per-character replacement to interpolation; NET5+ conditional code uses interpolated substring construction.
Simple String Format Changes
QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/BitcoinLikeCryptoCurrencyAddress.cs, QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/Mail.cs, QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/Url.cs, QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/WiFi.cs
Straightforward conversions from string concatenation to string interpolation for URL prefixes, query parameters, and HEX-string wrapping—no behavioral changes.
OneTimePassword OTP Query Building
QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/OneTimePassword.cs
HOTP counter, TOTP period, issuer:label combination, and common query fields refactored from sb.Append concatenation to StringExtensions.AppendInvariant with interpolation.
Payment & Financial Payload Builders
QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/BezahlCode.cs, QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/Girocode.cs, QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/RussiaPaymentOrder.cs
BezahlCode non-contact/contact query construction, Girocode BCD payload assembly, and RussiaPaymentOrder mandatory fields refactored to use StringBuilder + AppendInvariant, preserving conditional field inclusion and encoding normalization.
Contact & Address Data Builders
QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/ContactData.cs, QRCoder/PayloadGenerator/SwissQrCode.cs
ContactData (MeCard and vCard output) and SwissQrCode (contact block and full payload) refactored from concatenation to StringBuilder + AppendInvariant, maintaining address ordering rules and conditional formatting by output type/version. Formatting comments updated.
PDF Byte Generation
QRCoder/PdfByteQRCode.cs
PDF object construction (catalog, pages, content stream, xref table, trailer) switched from concatenation to StringBuilder + AppendInvariant; path rectangle commands and color RGB strings use interpolation. xref offset tracking and stream length computation preserved.
Polynomial String Representation
QRCoder/QRCodeGenerator/Polynom.cs
Polynomial term formatting updated to use AppendInvariant with interpolated algebraic notation instead of direct Append concatenation.
