This crate currently uses `simdjson 3.2.3`. You can have a try and give feedback.
If you
- find certain APIs are missing
- encounter memory errors
- experience performance degradation
Please submit an issue.
## Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`
```toml
# In the `[dependencies]` section
simdjson-rust = "0.3.0"
```
Then, get started.
```rust
use simdjson_rust::prelude::*;
use simdjson_rust::{dom, ondemand};
fn main() -> simdjson_rust::Result<()> {
let ps = make_padded_string("[0,1,2,3]");
// ondemand api.
{
let mut parser = ondemand::Parser::default();
let mut doc = parser.iterate(&ps)?;
let mut array = doc.get_array()?;
for (index, value) in array.iter()?.enumerate() {
assert_eq!(index as u64, value?.get_uint64()?);
}
}
// dom api.
{
let mut parser = dom::Parser::default();
let elem = parser.parse(&ps)?;
let arr = elem.get_array()?;
for (index, value) in arr.iter().enumerate() {
assert_eq!(index as u64, value.get_uint64()?);
}
}
Ok(())
}
```
### `dom` and `ondemand`
`simdjson` now offer two kinds of API, `dom` and `ondemand`.
`dom` will parsed the whole string while `ondemand` only parse what you request.
Due to `ffi`, the overhead of `ondemand` API is relatively high. I have tested `lto` but it only improves a little :(
Thus it is suggestted that
- use `ondemand` if you only want to access a specific part of a large json,
- use `dom` if you want to parse the whole json.
### `padded_string`
`simdjson` requires the input string to be padded. We must provide a string with `capacity = len + SIMDJSON_PADDING`.
We provide utils to do so.
```rust
use simdjson_rust::prelude::*;
fn main() -> simdjson_rust::Result<()> {
let ps = make_padded_string("[0,1,2,3]");
let ps = "[0,1,2,3]".to_padded_string();
// or reuse a buffer.
let unpadded = String::from("[1,2,3,4]");
let ps = unpadded.into_padded_string();
// or load from file.
let ps = load_padded_string("test.json")?;
Ok(())
}
```
