And remove UTF-8 check in JSON writer. It honestly feels kind of silly
to do that validation there while I've never done similar validations in
any other output routines - including this XML writer.
FU::XMLWriter is a copy of TUWF::XMLXS with a bunch of improvements
applied: now uses refcounts to determine the current output instance,
auto-generates XS functions and has faster escaped string output -
inspired by the JSON writer.
TODO:
- Integrate into FU
- Do something with bool attribute values
- Benchmarks
- Should $content be optional for all tags? The reason they weren't in
TUWF::XMLXS is because TUWF::XML supports opening tags without closing
them, but that idea turned out to suck and isn't supported anymore.
This is hopefully the last XS module for the FU framework. The only C
code being written now should be bug fixes and extending FU::Pg with
some planned features. Already ended up with more C than I had
planned...
NOW we're really getting to the part where this module is more awesome
than DBD::Pg.
(When I started working on this module I was expecting that the Postgres
binary protocol would send jsonb in a binary format as well and that I'd
be duplicating parts of the JSON parser/formatter to make that work, but
it turns out that Postgres just uses plain json for exchange. Saves me
some trouble, I guess)
That completes the json_format() function for now. At least, it now does
everything I had planned for it.
Ended up at a bit over 300 LOC. That's larger than I had expected, but
still alright.
Going to need a way to pass arguments into the XS function anyway, so
might as well do the entire arg parsing step in XS while we're at it.
Provides a significant speedup for tiny inputs as well, but I don't find
that too interesting.
It works and can format all "plain" Perl data, but has a few known bugs
and limitations that still need to be worked out.
It's about 8x smaller than JSON::XS's encoder and *much* smaller than
Cpanel::JSON::XS, but this is just a first attempt, it'll grow.
