63+
6164- Parses POLYLINE entities with VERTEX sub-entities
6265- Reads group code 70 (closed flag)
6366- Reads group codes 10, 20, 30 (X, Y, Z coordinates)

7478### Entity Parsing

7680#### POLYLINE (Traditional Format)
81+
7782- Uses VERTEX sub-entities for each point
7883- Flag 70 bit 0: closed (1) or open (0)
7984- Group codes: 10=X, 20=Y, 30=Z
8085- Terminated by SEQEND
8186
8287#### LWPOLYLINE (Lightweight Format)
88+
8389- Direct vertex coordinates (no VERTEX entities)
8490- More compact than POLYLINE
8591- Flag 70 bit 0: closed/open
8692- ** Limitation** : Bulge values (arcs) not yet supported
8793
8894#### LINE
95+
8996- Simple two-point entity
9097- Group codes: 10,20,30 = start, 11,21,31 = end
9198- Always treated as open polyline

93100#### CIRCLE
101+
94102- Center point (10,20,30) + radius (40)
95103- Converted to polygon based on segment size
96104- ** Default** : 1mm segments (e.g., 10mm radius circle = ~ 63 segments)
97105- ** Minimum** : 4 segments to avoid degenerate geometry

265277## Security Considerations
266278
267279✅ ** Safe Parsing** :
280+
268281- No ` eval() ` or code execution
269282- No file system access
270283- Bounds checking prevents array overflow
271284- String operations only (no binary exploits)
272285
273286✅ ** Input Validation** :
287+
274288- parseFloat() for numeric values (NaN-safe)
275289- Trim whitespace (prevents injection)
276290- Length checks before array access

280294** Expected Performance** :
281- - Small files (<100 entities): <10ms

283- - Large files (1000-10000 entities): <1s

286302- Could use worker thread for large files
287303- Could stream parse (currently loads entire file)
288304- Could skip unknown entities faster (regex match)
