Benchmarks

Benchmarks

Displayed rates were computed over 100,000 records, taking the median of 10 runs. Percentages are relative to the fastest throughput for the schema. -1 values indicate that the library doesn't support the schema.

All benchmarks were run on a MacBook Air (1.7GHz Intel Core i7). The code is available in the benchmarks folder of the main avsc repository.
