Bento

Bento is a new Bencoding library for Elixir focusing on wicked-fast speed without sacrificing simplicity, completeness, or correctness.

It takes inspiration from Poison, a pure-Elixir JSON library, and uses several of the techniques found there:

• Extensive sub-binary matching
• A hand-rolled parser using several techniques known to benefit HiPE for native compilation
• IO list encoding
• Single-pass decoding

Preliminary benchmarking has put Bento's performance as nearly always faster than existing Elixir libraries.

Installation

Bento is available in Hex. The package can be installed by:

1. Add bento to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

   def deps do

    [{:bento, "~> 0.1.0"}]

   end

2. Ensure bento is started before your application:

   def application do

    [applications: [:bento]]

   end
