costin 01/05/26 10:12:26 Added: src/share/org/apache/tomcat/util/buf package.html Log: Few comments ( I'll expand later ) Revision Changes Path 1.1 jakarta-tomcat/src/share/org/apache/tomcat/util/buf/package.html Index: package.html =================================================================== <H1>Buffers and Encodings<h1> This package contains buffers and utils to perform encoding/decoding of buffers. That includes byte to char conversions, URL encodings, etc. <p> Encoding is a critical operation for performance. There are few tricks in this package - the C2B and B2C converters are caching a ISReader/OSWriter and keep everything allocated to do the conversions in any VM without any garbage. <p> This package must accomodate future extensions and additional converters ( most imporant: the nio.charset, which should be detected and used if available ). Also, we do have one hand-written UTF8Decoder, and other tuned encoders could be added. <p> My benchmarks ( I'm costin :-) show only small differences between C2B, B2C and hand-written codders/decoders, so UTF8Decoder may be disabled. <p>
