OData v4 Parser

The `odata-v4-parser` package provides a JavaScript parser for OData v4 URI query strings, converting them into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). This allows developers to programmatically interpret and act upon OData query parameters like `$filter`, `$orderby`, `$top`, and `$skip`. The package's current specified version, 0.1.29, reflects its last update several years ago, making it an effectively abandoned project. It was primarily designed for CommonJS environments and does not actively support modern JavaScript features or evolving OData specifications. While it ships with TypeScript type definitions, its long-term maintenance status and compatibility with contemporary Node.js versions are highly questionable. It differentiates itself by offering a direct parsing utility for OData v4 queries, but its lack of updates means it may not support all features of the OData v4 standard or address potential security concerns inherent in parsing external input.
