xbbg-core

Safe, zero-allocation Rust wrappers over the Bloomberg C++ SDK (blpapi).

This is the core abstraction layer between raw FFI (xbbg-blpapi-sys) and the async engine (xbbg-async). Every unsafe FFI call is wrapped in a safe Rust API with proper ownership, lifetimes, and error handling.

Features

Feature Description
live (default) Real Bloomberg SDK via blpapi-sys

Design principles

  • All FFI goes through ffi.rs — single point of control for unsafe imports
  • Zero-allocation hot paths — direct typed access, no JSON serialization
  • Sub-microsecond field extraction — SIMD-accelerated where available
  • Owned vs borrowed — Value<'a> borrows from Element; OwnedValue for storage

Benchmarks

All benchmarks have been consolidated into the xbbg-bench crate. See crates/xbbg-bench/README.md.
