Typically, such a construction is part of the implementation of an /encoding/, i.e., a function for converting Haskell values to sequences of bytes. Examples of encodings are the generation of the sequence of bytes representing a HTML document to be sent in a HTTP response by a web application or the serialization of a Haskell value using a fixed binary format. For an /efficient implementation of an encoding/, it is important that (a) little time is spent on converting the Haskell values to the resulting sequence of bytes /and/ (b) that the representation of the resulting sequence is such that it can be consumed efficiently. 'Builder's support (a) by providing an /O(1)/ concatentation operation and efficient implementations of basic encodings for 'Char's, 'Int's, and other standard Haskell values. They support (b) by providing their result as a lazy 'L.ByteString', which is internally just a linked list of pointers to /chunks/ of consecutive raw memory. Lazy 'L.ByteString's can be efficiently consumed by functions that write them to a file or send them over a network socket. Note that each chunk boundary incurs expensive extra work (e.g., a system call) that must be amortized over the work spent on consuming the chunk body. 'Builder's therefore take special care to ensure that the average chunk size is large enough. The precise meaning of large enough is application dependent. The current implementation is tuned for an average chunk size between 4kb and 32kb, which should suit most applications. As a simple example of an encoding implementation, we show how to efficiently convert the following representation of mixed-data tables to an UTF-8 encoded Comma-Separated-Values (CSV) table. >data Cell = StringC String > | IntC Int > deriving( Eq, Ord, Show ) > >type Row = [Cell] >type Table = [Row] We use the following imports and abbreviate 'mappend' to simplify reading. @ import qualified "Data.ByteString.Lazy" as L import "Data.ByteString.Builder" import Data.Monoid import Data.Foldable ('foldMap') import Data.List ('intersperse') infixr 4 \<\> (\<\>) :: 'Monoid' m => m -> m -> m (\<\>) = 'mappend' @ CSV is a character-based representation of tables. For maximal modularity, we could first render 'Table's as 'String's and then encode this 'String' using some Unicode character encoding. However, this sacrifices performance due to the intermediate 'String' representation being built and thrown away right afterwards. We get rid of this intermediate 'String' representation by fixing the character encoding to UTF-8 and using 'Builder's to convert 'Table's directly to UTF-8 encoded CSV tables represented as lazy 'L.ByteString's. @ encodeUtf8CSV :: Table -> L.ByteString encodeUtf8CSV = 'toLazyByteString' . renderTable renderTable :: Table -> Builder renderTable rs = 'mconcat' [renderRow r \<\> 'charUtf8' \'\\n\' | r <- rs] renderRow :: Row -> Builder renderRow [] = 'mempty' renderRow (c:cs) = renderCell c \<\> mconcat [ charUtf8 \',\' \<\> renderCell c\' | c\' <- cs ] renderCell :: Cell -> Builder renderCell (StringC cs) = renderString cs renderCell (IntC i) = 'intDec' i renderString :: String -> Builder renderString cs = charUtf8 \'\"\' \<\> foldMap escape cs \<\> charUtf8 \'\"\' where escape \'\\\\\' = charUtf8 \'\\\\\' \<\> charUtf8 \'\\\\\' escape \'\\\"\' = charUtf8 \'\\\\\' \<\> charUtf8 \'\\\"\' escape c = charUtf8 c @ Note that the ASCII encoding is a subset of the UTF-8 encoding, which is why we can use the optimized function 'intDec' to encode an 'Int' as a decimal number with UTF-8 encoded digits. Using 'intDec' is more efficient than @'stringUtf8' . 'show'@, as it avoids constructing an intermediate 'String'. Avoiding this intermediate data structure significantly improves performance because encoding 'Cell's is the core operation for rendering CSV-tables. See "Data.ByteString.Builder.Prim" for further information on how to improve the performance of 'renderString'. We demonstrate our UTF-8 CSV encoding function on the following table. @ strings :: [String] strings = [\"hello\", \"\\\"1\\\"\", \"λ-wörld\"] table :: Table table = [map StringC strings, map IntC [-3..3]] @ The expression @encodeUtf8CSV table@ results in the following lazy 'L.ByteString'. >Chunk "\"hello\",\"\\\"1\\\"\",\"\206\187-w\195\182rld\"\n-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3\n" Empty We can clearly see that we are converting to a /binary/ format. The \'λ\' and \'ö\' characters, which have a Unicode codepoint above 127, are expanded to their corresponding UTF-8 multi-byte representation. We use the @criterion@ library (<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/criterion>) to benchmark the efficiency of our encoding function on the following table. >import Criterion.Main -- add this import to the ones above > >maxiTable :: Table >maxiTable = take 1000 $ cycle table > >main :: IO () >main = defaultMain > [ bench "encodeUtf8CSV maxiTable (original)" $ > whnf (L.length . encodeUtf8CSV) maxiTable > ] On a Core2 Duo 2.20GHz on a 32-bit Linux, the above code takes 1ms to generate the 22'500 bytes long lazy 'L.ByteString'. Looking again at the definitions above, we see that we took care to avoid intermediate data structures, as otherwise we would sacrifice performance. For example, the following (arguably simpler) definition of 'renderRow' is about 20% slower. >renderRow :: Row -> Builder >renderRow = mconcat . intersperse (charUtf8 ',') . map renderCell Similarly, using /O(n)/ concatentations like '++' or the equivalent 'S.concat' operations on strict and lazy 'L.ByteString's should be avoided. The following definition of 'renderString' is also about 20% slower. >renderString :: String -> Builder >renderString cs = charUtf8 $ "\"" ++ concatMap escape cs ++ "\"" > where > escape '\\' = "\\" > escape '\"' = "\\\"" > escape c = return c Apart from removing intermediate data-structures, encodings can be optimized further by fine-tuning their execution parameters using the functions in "Data.ByteString.Builder.Extra" and their \"inner loops\" using the functions in "Data.ByteString.Builder.Prim". -} module Data.ByteString.Builder ( -- * The Builder type Builder -- * Executing Builders -- | Internally, 'Builder's are buffer-filling functions.
