Text::TNetstrings ================= The library provides an implementation of the TNetstrings serialization format. Usage ===== use Text::TNetstrings qw(:all); my $data = encode_tnetstrings({"foo" => "bar"}) # => "12:3:foo,3:bar,}" my $hash = decode_tnetstrings($data) # => {"foo" => "bar"} Performance =========== The JSON benchmark shows that TNetstrings is about twice as fast as the Pure-Perl JSON module (version 2.27105). $ perl -Ilib benchmark/json.pl Rate JSON::PP TNetstrings JSON::XS JSON::PP 700/s -- -48% -98% TNetstrings 1359/s 94% -- -95% JSON::XS 29326/s 4091% 2058% -- Similarly the Pure-Perl version of Data::Dumper performs about twice as slow as TNetstrings. $ perl -Ilib benchmark/dumper.pl Rate Dumper TNetstrings Dumper 700/s -- -48% TNetstrings 1355/s 93% -- The above benchmarks were performed on a dual core Intel Atom 330 @ 1.6GHz. Installation ============ Module::Build is used as the build system for this library. The typical procedure applies: perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install Documentation ============= The library contains embedded POD documentation. Any of the POD tools can be used to generate documentation, such as pod2html License ======= The library is licensed under the MIT license. Please read the LICENSE file for details.
