Then how do you, Anonymous Monk, explain why
JSON::XS is considerably faster than
Storable in this example:
# Benchmark
use warnings;
use strict;
use Benchmark qw(cmpthese);
use Storable qw(freeze thaw);
use JSON::XS;
my $hashref = { one => 1, two => 2, three => 3, four => 4, five => 5 }
+;
my @array = (1 .. 1000);
cmpthese(
-1,
{
'storable-hashref' => sub {
my $foo = thaw(freeze($hashref));
},
'storable-arrayref' => sub {
my $bar = thaw(freeze(\@array));
},
'json-xs-hashref' => sub {
my $foo = decode_json(encode_json($hashref));
},
'json-xs-arrayref' => sub {
my $bar = decode_json(encode_json(\@array));
},
}
);
__END__

No matter how great and destructive your problems may seem now, remember, you've probably only seen the tip of them. [1]

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
