Protocol

A NATS protocol parser written in Python

Motivation

1. This project was created to parse the NATS protocol in order to understand how it works and to be able to create a NATS client from scratch.

2. This project was created to compare the performance of a Regular Expressions parser with a look ahead bytes parser.

Install

git clone https://github.com/charbonats/protocol.git
cd protocol
rye run bootstrap

Test

Tests can be run using pytest, but it's recommended to use the rye command to collect coverage:

rye run test

Benchmark

Benchmarks can be run individually using python -m benchmarks command, but it's recommended to use the rye command to run all benchmarks sequentially and collect results into a single directory:

rye run bench
