Other languages
|
||
===============
|
||
|
||
One of the aims of ryml is to provide an efficient YAML API for other
|
||
languages. JavaScript is fully available, and there is already a cursory
|
||
implementation for Python using only the low-level API. After ironing
|
||
out the general approach, other languages are likely to follow (all of
|
||
this is possible because we’re using `SWIG <http://www.swig.org/>`__,
|
||
which makes it easy to do so).
|
||
|
||
|
||
JavaScript
|
||
----------
|
||
|
||
A JavaScript+WebAssembly port is available, compiled through
|
||
`emscripten <https://emscripten.org/>`__.
|
||
|
||
Here's a quick example on how to configure, compile and run the tests
|
||
using `emcmake`:
|
||
|
||
.. code:: bash
|
||
|
||
git clone --recursive https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml
|
||
cd rapidyaml
|
||
emcmake cmake -S . -B build/emscripten \
|
||
-D RYML_DEV=ON \
|
||
-D RYML_BUILD_TESTS=ON \
|
||
-D RYML_BUILD_BENCHMARKS=OFF \
|
||
-D RYML_TEST_SUITE=OFF \
|
||
-D RYML_DEFAULT_CALLBACK_USES_EXCEPTIONS=ON \
|
||
-D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
|
||
-D CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS='-s DISABLE_EXCEPTION_CATCHING=0'
|
||
cmake --build build/emscripten --target ryml-test-run -j
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Python
|
||
------
|
||
|
||
(Note that this is a work in progress. Additions will be made and
|
||
things will be changed.). The python port is using only the
|
||
index-based low-level API, which works with node indices and string
|
||
views. This API is very fast, but you may find it hard to use: it does not
|
||
build a python structure of dicts/seqs/scalars, and all the scalars
|
||
are string views into the source buffer, and not typed. With that
|
||
said, it is really fast, and once you have the tree, you can still walk
|
||
over the tree to create the native python structure. Have a look at
|
||
this `test file
|
||
<https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml/tree/v0.8.0/api/python/tests/test_readme.py>`__
|
||
to see how the python API works, and to judge whether it may be useful to your
|
||
case.
|
||
|
||
As for performance, in a `timeit benchmark <https://github.com/biojppm/rapidyaml/tree/v0.8.0/api/python/bm/parse_bm.py>`__ comparing against
|
||
`PyYaml <https://pyyaml.org/>`__ and
|
||
`ruamel.yaml <https://yaml.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>`__, ryml parses
|
||
quicker by generally 100x and up to 400x:
|
||
|
||
::
|
||
|
||
+----------------------------------------+-------+----------+----------+-----------+
|
||
| style_seqs_blck_outer1000_inner100.yml | count | time(ms) | avg(ms) | avg(MB/s) |
|
||
+----------------------------------------+-------+----------+----------+-----------+

|
||

|
||
| parse:RymlParseInArena | 38 | 588.024 | 15.474 | 50.988 |
|
||
| parse:RymlParseInArenaReuse | 38 | 466.997 | 12.289 | 64.202 |
|
||
| parse:RymlParseInPlace | 38 | 579.770 | 15.257 | 51.714 |
|
||
| parse:RymlParseInPlaceReuse | 38 | 462.932 | 12.182 | 64.765 |
|
||
+----------------------------------------+-------+----------+----------+-----------+
|
||
|
||
(Note that the parse timings above are somewhat biased towards ryml,
|
||
because it does not perform any type conversions in Python-land: return
|
||
types are merely ``memoryviews`` to the source buffer, possibly copied
|
||
to the tree’s arena).
|
||
|
||
As for emitting, the improvement can be as high as 3000x:
