Cookie...ker::XS(3pm)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is the Cookie::Baker::XS page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation (yes, a 3pm manual, we're fancy). And what does it do?? It boosts Cookie::Baker's crush_cookie. that's literally it. it's giving speed. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the vibe is very simple, no notes:

use Cookie::Baker::XS qw/crush_cookie/;

my $cookies_hashref = crush_cookie($headers->header('Cookie'));

like… that's the whole thing. use it, crush a cookie, get a hashref. periodt. 🍓

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so Cookie::Baker::XS hands you a cookie string parser — and the ✨sparkle✨ is that it's implemented by XS. you know, the C-under-the-hood situation, so it's fast fast. 🔥

ngl this module is a parser and only a parser. it does not have a generator function. so if you're looking for "make me a cookie string" energy… not here, bestie, sorry. 😭

for more details, see Cookie::Baker's document. that's where the full lore lives. 📖

👑 BENCHMARK 👑

here's the receipts, bestie. numbers don't lie and neither does this module. 🧚

## length($cookie) == 675
Benchmark: running pp, xs for at least 1 CPU seconds...
        pp:  1 wallclock secs ( 1.08 usr +  0.00 sys =  1.08 CPU) @ 16592.59/s (n=17920)
        xs:  1 wallclock secs ( 1.05 usr +  0.00 sys =  1.05 CPU) @ 182043.81/s (n=191146)
       Rate   pp   xs
pp  16593/s   -- -91%
xs 182044/s 997%   --

not me staring at that 997% 😭 the XS version ate and left no crumbs.

and for the little cookies too:

## length($cookie) == 17
Benchmark: running pp, xs for at least 1 CPU seconds...
        pp:  2 wallclock secs ( 1.05 usr +  0.01 sys =  1.06 CPU) @ 201749.06/s (n=213854)
        xs:  0 wallclock secs ( 1.19 usr +  0.01 sys =  1.20 CPU) @ 1042617.50/s (n=1251141)
       Rate   pp   xs
pp  201749/s   -- -81%
xs 1042618/s 417%   --

417% faster on the tiny cookies, highkey iconic. 💖
