Refactor: Adopt nullable types and modern C# conventions#15
Merged
Conversation
Modernized the codebase by adopting nullable reference types (`string?`, `XPathExpression?`, etc.) to improve null safety and align with modern C# practices. Updated null checks to use `is not null` for better readability. Introduced default initialization for properties (e.g., `Schema.Empty`, `NullMatchedNodes.Instance`) and added sentinel values to replace nulls in certain cases. Improved null handling in methods by throwing exceptions when required fields are uninitialized. Refactored the `Reset` method for clarity, reused `StringBuilder` instances to improve memory efficiency, and guarded against nulls with the null-forgiving operator (`!`) where appropriate. Enhanced dictionary merging logic for clarity, added `[MemberNotNull]` attributes to guarantee non-null fields after method execution, and improved conditional logic readability. Refactored validation logic in `Validator` to simplify error handling and replaced nullable `StringBuilder` instances with string variables. Applied general code cleanup, including consistent formatting and spacing, to improve maintainability.
