Summary : Fast Avro for Python
URL : https://github.com/fastavro/fastavro
License : MIT AND Apache-2.0
Description : Because the Apache Python avro package is written in pure Python, it is
: relatively slow. In one test case, it takes about 14 seconds to iterate through
: a file of 10,000 records. By comparison, the JAVA avro SDK reads the same file
: in 1.9 seconds.
:
: The fastavro library was written to offer performance comparable to the Java
: library. With regular CPython, fastavro uses C extensions which allow it to
: iterate the same 10,000 record file in 1.7 seconds. With PyPy, this drops to
: 1.5 seconds (to be fair, the JAVA benchmark is doing some extra JSON
: encoding/decoding).
