About:
simdutf is a high-performance library for validating, encoding, and transcoding Unicode text. It leverages SIMD instructions to achieve parsing speeds significantly faster than conventional libraries. This makes it ideal for applications requiring rapid processing of large text datasets.
Key Features:
  • SIMD-accelerated UTF-8 validation and conversion
  • Supports UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32 transcoding
  • Branchless, error-tolerant algorithms
  • C++ API with C and Rust bindings
Use Cases:
  • High-throughput JSON parsing and serialization
  • Log processing and analysis pipelines
  • Game engine text rendering and localization
Alternatives:
  • ICU – ICU offers comprehensive internationalization features but is heavier and generally slower for pure transcoding tasks.
  • Standard C++ Locale – Standard library conversions are portable but lack the performance optimizations required for data-intensive applications.
