Jiffy - JSON NIFs for Erlang
============================
I wrote a JSON parser. Lets see how fast it is.
A JSON parser as a NIF. This is a complete rewrite of the work I did
in EEP0018 that was based on Yajl. This new version is a hand crafted
state machine that does its best to be as quick and efficient as
possible while not placing any constraints on the parsed JSON.
Usage
-----
Jiffy's API is a drop in replacement for the EEP0018 application. The
JSON representation in Erlang is also exactly the same.
Eshell V5.8.2 (abort with ^G)
1> jiffy:decode(<<"{\"foo\": \"bar\"}">>).
{ok,{[{<<"foo">>,<<"bar">>}]}}
2> Doc = {[{foo, [<<"bing">>, 2.3, true]}]}.
{[{foo,[<<"bing">>,2.3,true]}]}
3> jiffy:encode(Doc).
{ok,<<"{\"foo\":[\"bing\",2.2999999999999998224,true]}">>}
Data Format
-----------
JSON -> Erlang
null -> null
true -> true
false -> false
1 -> 1
1.25 -> 1.25
[] -> []
[true, 1.0] -> [true, 1.0]
{} -> {[]}
{"foo": "bar"} -> {[{<<"foo">>, <<"bar">>}]}
