ada VS tomlplusplus

...

can_ada is just the python bindings, largely generated via pybind11.

The actual project is at https://github.com/ada-url/ada

When I see the word "benchmark" and don't see a methodology I get a little wary.

In this case the author ran a custom benchmark from one of their projects. https://github.com/ada-url/ada/blob/main/benchmarks/wpt_benc...

To be clear I'm not questioning the benchmark's accuracy or author's bona fides, but that post was a little short for my taste.

For those who don't want to go to twitter first https://github.com/ada-url/ada/releases/tag/v1.0.0

Unless you want to make your own config file parser as an exercise (which is a good idea) I'd recommend using toml++.

It's a public repo - this one: https://github.com/marzer/tomlplusplus but thank you

For a live demo, see the toml++ homepage: https://marzer.github.io/tomlplusplus/

Added bonus, tomlplusplus is a solid C++ implementation, actively updated, and easy to drop into a project (header only, CMake, vcpkg, Conan, etc.). Very easy to use for what I've needed.

I use them in toml++ to store the path of the source document for all the data nodes parsed from that document. Storing it as a separate std::string allocation for every single object would have been very wasteful, and the alternative would have been to make an overall document class that owned everything, which I didn't want to do, so shared_ptr was a good compromise.

toml++ was both my first 'public'/open-source project, and my first ever attempt at a parser. There's a few things I'd do differently now if I were to write it from scratch, but I've learned a lot along the way (particularly about making things build 'clean' on multiple platforms).
