Hyperpb: Faster dynamic Protobuf parsing that's faster than generated code
Today we’re announcing public availability of hyperpb, a fully-dynamic Protobuf parser that is 10x faster than dynamicpb, the standard Go solution for dynamic Protobuf. In fact, it’s so efficient that it’s 3x faster than parsing with generated code! It also matches or beats vtprotobuf’s generated code at almost every benchmark, without skimping on correctness.
Building a dynamic Protobuf parser with the throughput to match (or outperform) ahead-of-time generated code unlocks enormous possibilities. hyperpb.CompileFileDescriptorSet calls into hyperpb’s compiler, which lays out optimized structs for each message type to minimize memory usage (not unlike the new Opaque API, but more aggressive). hyperpb also includes advanced features such as manual memory re-use, performance tuning knobs, “unsafe” modes, and profile-guided optimization.
