What is libsimdjson-dev
libsimdjson-dev is:
JSON is everywhere on the Internet. Servers spend a lot of time parsing it. We need a fresh approach. The simdjson library uses commonly available SIMD instructions and microparallel algorithms to parse JSON 2.5x faster than RapidJSON and 25x faster than JSON for Modern C++.
- Fast: Over 2.5x faster than commonly used production-grade JSON parsers.
- Record Breaking Features: Minify JSON at 6 GB/s, validate UTF-8 at 13 GB/s, NDJSON at 3.5 GB/s.
- Easy: First-class, easy to use and carefully documented APIs.
- Beyond DOM: Try the new On Demand API for twice the speed (>4GB/s).
- Strict: Full JSON and UTF-8 validation, lossless parsing. Performance with no compromises.
- Automatic: Selects a CPU-tailored parser at runtime. No configuration needed.
- Reliable: From memory allocation to error handling, simdjson’s design avoids surprises.
- Peer Reviewed: Our research appears in venues like VLDB Journal, Software: Practice and Experience.
