< li > < tt class = "docutils literal" > Loader< / tt > is now, by default, constructed from a non-const buffer containing YAML
data instead of a < tt class = "docutils literal" > std.stream.Stream< / tt > . D:YAML reuses and overwrites this buffer to
minimize memory allocations during parsing. Convenience API such as the < tt class = "docutils literal" > Loader< / tt >
constructor from a filename is unchanged although it loads the file to a buffer
internally.< / li >

value (as opposed to a key).< / li >

< li > D:YAML now works with a UTF-8 buffer internally. This decreases memory usage for UTF-8
input, and UTF-32 inputs can be encoded into UTF-8 in-place without allocating.
UTF-16 inputs still need an allocation. This also gets rid of all dchar[]-> char[]
conversions which were a significant source of GC allocations.< / li >
2014-08-06 14:55:30 +00:00
< li > Various optimizations in < tt class = "docutils literal" > Reader< / tt > /< tt class = "docutils literal" > Scanner< / tt > , especially for mostly-ASCII files
containing plain scalars (most common YAML files). Measured speedup of ~80% when
parsing mostly-ASCII
files, slowdown of ~12% for mostly non-ASCII files (all tested files were UTF-8).< / li >
2014-08-01 00:44:31 +00:00
< li > Less GC usage during YAML node construction.< / li >
2014-08-06 14:55:30 +00:00
< li > < tt class = "docutils literal" > Scanner< / tt > is now mostly < tt class = "docutils literal" > @ nogc< / tt > ; it never allocates memory for token values, using
slices into the input buffer instead.< / li >
2014-08-01 00:44:31 +00:00
< li > Custom, < tt class = "docutils literal" > @ nogc< / tt > UTF decoding/encoding code based on < tt class = "docutils literal" > std.utf< / tt > to enable more use

< li > Updated the < tt class = "docutils literal" > yaml_bench< / tt > example/tool with options to keep the input file in memory
instead of reloading it for repeated parses, and to only benchmark scanning time
instead of the entire parser.< / li >
< li > The < tt class = "docutils literal" > yaml_gen< / tt > example/tool can now generate strings from user-specified alphabets
which may contain non-ASCII characters.< / li >

custom types tutorial and Constructor API documentation.< / li >

Representer.< / li >
< li > Updated API documentation to reflect the new changes, added more examples
and overall made the documentation more readable.< / li >
< li > Improved error messages of exceptions.< / li >
< li > Drastically optimized scanning and parsing, decreasing parsing time to about
10% (no precise benchmark comparison with 0.2 at the moment).< / li >

< li > Optimized Dumper for speed, especially when dumping many small files.< / li >
