System.IO.Pipelines 10.0.8

About

A library designed to make it easier to do high-performance I/O.

Apps that parse streaming data are composed of boilerplate code having many specialized and unusual code flows. The boilerplate and special case code is complex and difficult to maintain.

System.IO.Pipelines was architected to:

  • Have high performance parsing streaming data.
  • Reduce code complexity.

Key Features

  • Single producer/single consumer byte buffer management.
  • Reduction in code complexity and boilerplate code associated with I/O operations.

How to Use

Check the System.IO.Pipelines in .NET article for a full example.

Main Types

The main types provided by this library are:

  • System.IO.Pipelines.Pipe
  • System.IO.Pipelines.PipeWriter
  • System.IO.Pipelines.PipeReader

Nerdbank.MessagePack
A fast and more user-friendly MessagePack serialization library for .NET and .NET Framework. This package is brought to you by one of the two major contributors to MessagePack-CSharp. As its natural successor, this library comes packed with features that its predecessor lacks, and has ongoing support. Premium support for trimming and Native AOT, secure deserialization of untrusted data, async serialization, streaming deserialization, skip serializing of default values, reference preservation, and support for reference cycles. Also features an automatic structural equality API.
56
System.Text.Json
Provides high-performance and low-allocating types that serialize objects to JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) text and deserialize JSON text to objects, with UTF-8 support built-in. Also provides types to read and write JSON text encoded as UTF-8, and to create an in-memory document object model (DOM), that is read-only, for random access of the JSON elements within a structured view of the data. The System.Text.Json library is built-in as part of the shared framework in .NET Runtime. The package can be installed when you need to use it in other target frameworks.

StreamJsonRpc
A cross-platform .NETStandard library that implements the JSON-RPC wire protocol and can use System.IO.Stream, System.IO.Pipelines or WebSocket so you can use it with any transport.
