Simple C++ project using the simdjson library to parse all json files in a directory and measure the time taken.
This is a POC project created as I was evaluating faster alternatives for parsing json files. Using standard .NET json parsing stuff works great most of the time, but in this particular scenario I had to parse some ten thousand large (30MB+) files.
The json files are assumed to have a root object with at least a count numeric property like this:
{
"count": 100
}On my test machine, using the AVX2 implementation from simdjson, it takes about 2.5 seconds to parse the sample directory comprised of 33 files (total of 933MB).
