name: buffer-builder version: 0.2.0.1 synopsis: Library for efficiently building up buffers, one piece at a time description: "Data.BufferBuilder" is an efficient library for incrementally building up 'ByteString's, one chunk at a time. Early benchmarks show it is over twice as fast as ByteString Builder, primarily because 'BufferBuilder' is built upon an ST-style restricted monad and mutable state instead of ByteString Builder's monoidal AST. . Internally, BufferBuilder is backed by a few C functions. Examination of GHC's output shows nearly optimal code generation with no intermediate thunks -- and thus, continuation passing and its associated indirect jumps and stack traffic only occur when BufferBuilder is asked to append a non-strict ByteString. . I benchmarked four approaches with a URL encoding benchmark: . * State monad, concatenating ByteStrings: 6.98 us . * State monad, ByteString Builder: 2.48 us . * Crazy explicit RealWorld baton passing with unboxed state: 28.94 us (GHC generated really awful code for this, but see the revision history for the technique) . * C + FFI + ReaderT: 1.11 us . Using BufferBuilder is very simple: . > import qualified Data.BufferBuilder as BB > > let byteString = BB.runBufferBuilder $ do > BB.appendBS "http" > BB.appendChar8 '/' > BB.appendBS "//" . This package also provides "Data.BufferBuilder.Utf8" for generating UTF-8 buffers and "Data.BufferBuilder.Json" for encoding data structures into JSON. license: BSD3 license-file: LICENSE author: Chad Austin, Andy Friesen maintainer: chad@chadaustin.me copyright: IMVU Inc., Chad Austin, Andy Friesen category: Data build-type: Simple stability: experimental homepage: https://github.com/chadaustin/buffer-builder cabal-version: >=1.10 library exposed-modules: Data.BufferBuilder Data.BufferBuilder.Utf8 Data.BufferBuilder.Json build-depends: base ==4.* , bytestring , mtl , text , vector , unordered-containers default-language: Haskell2010 ghc-options: -O2 -Wall c-sources: buffer.cpp branchlut.cpp branchlut.h cc-options: -O2 -Wall test-suite tests type: exitcode-stdio-1.0 main-is: Main.hs hs-source-dirs: test default-language: Haskell2010 ghc-options: -O2 -Wall build-depends: base ==4.* , buffer-builder , text , tasty , tasty-hunit , tasty-th , tasty-quickcheck , HUnit , text , vector , bytestring , attoparsec , aeson benchmark bench type: exitcode-stdio-1.0 main-is: Bench.hs hs-source-dirs: bench default-language: Haskell2010 ghc-options: -O2 -Wall --ghc-options: -ddump-ds -ddump-simpl -ddump-stg -ddump-opt-cmm -ddump-asm -ddump-to-file build-depends: base ==4.* , bytestring , buffer-builder , criterion benchmark json-bench type: exitcode-stdio-1.0 main-is: JsonBench.hs hs-source-dirs: bench default-language: Haskell2010 ghc-options: -O2 -Wall --ghc-options: -ddump-ds -ddump-simpl -ddump-stg -ddump-opt-cmm -ddump-asm -ddump-to-file build-depends: base , buffer-builder , aeson , bytestring , text , deepseq , vector , criterion , vector test-suite tinyjson type: exitcode-stdio-1.0 main-is: TinyJson.hs hs-source-dirs: bench default-language: Haskell2010 ghc-options: -O2 -Wall --ghc-options: -ddump-ds -ddump-simpl -ddump-stg -ddump-opt-cmm -ddump-asm -ddump-to-file build-depends: base , buffer-builder , aeson , bytestring , text , deepseq , criterion test-suite tinyjson2 type: exitcode-stdio-1.0 main-is: TinyJson2.hs hs-source-dirs: bench default-language: Haskell2010 ghc-options: -O2 -Wall --ghc-options: -ddump-ds -ddump-simpl -ddump-stg -ddump-opt-cmm -ddump-asm -ddump-to-file build-depends: base , buffer-builder , aeson , bytestring , deepseq , criterion , vector
