Semantic Versions

/ork/cl_semver parses SemVer strings into typed value objects and exposes comparison helpers for version gates.

DATA(current) = /ork/cl_semver=>s_parse( `1.4.2` ).
DATA(required) = /ork/cl_semver=>s_parse( `1.3.0` ).

IF current->compare( required ) >= 0.
  " Feature is available.
ENDIF.

Use s_compare_versions when you already have structured version values and do not need object instances.

UUID Values

/ork/cl_uuid generates UUIDs and converts between SAP UUID representations.

DATA(uuid) = /ork/cl_uuid=>s_new( ).
DATA(uuid_c32) = /ork/cl_uuid=>s_new_c32( ).
DATA(uuid_x16) = /ork/cl_uuid=>s_parse_to_x16( CONV string( uuid_c32 ) ).

Parsing methods accept text input and return the requested representation. Conversion methods are explicit about source and target format, which keeps transport and persistence code easy to audit.

Stopwatch Timing

Use /ork/cl_stopwatch when a call site needs elapsed duration objects instead of raw timestamp arithmetic.

DATA(stopwatch) = /ork/cl_stopwatch=>s_new( ).

stopwatch->start( ).
" Work to measure.
stopwatch->stop( ).

DATA(elapsed_ms) = stopwatch->elapsed( )->total_milliseconds( ).

The stopwatch can be started, stopped, reset, or restarted through /ork/if_stopwatch; elapsed returns a /ork/if_duration value for formatting or unit conversion.

Zip Files

/ork/cl_io_zip_file wraps cl_abap_zip behind a fluent interface for in-memory archives.

DATA(zip_bytes) = /ork/cl_io_zip_file=>s_new(
  )->add( name    = `payload.txt`
          content = payload_bytes
  )->save( ).

DATA(payload_copy) = /ork/cl_io_zip_file=>s_single_file_from_zip(
  zip_file = zip_bytes
  filename = `payload.txt`
).

Use the instance API when an archive contains multiple files or needs entry inspection. The single-file helpers keep common import/export code compact.
