And replaced it with better isBuf function. Has binary data would not have
checked objects that contain blobs. isBuf only checks the current object,
not its child objects
Remove blobs has to iterate over a javascript object and asynchronously
remove the blobs / files. It does this by iterating over arrays and
objects in the larger object recursively.
Problem was in checking for object to iterate over, wasn't checking if
that object was binary data itself. So it was working, but really slowly,
by iterating over every byte in a Buffer and checking it for blobs.
Much faster now :)
Separated the encoding and decoding into two public-facing objects,
Encoder and Decoder.
Both objects take nothing on construction. Encoder has a single method,
encode, that mimics the previous version's function encode (takes a
packet object and a callback). Decoder has a single method too, add, that
takes any object (packet string or binary data). Decoder emits a 'decoded'
event when it has received all of the parts of a packet. The only
parameter for the decoded event is the reconstructed packet.
I am hesitant about the Encoder.encode vs Decoder.add thing. Should it be
more consistent, or should it stay like this where the function names are
more descriptive?
Also, rewrote the test helper functions to deal with new event-based
decoding. Wrote a new test in test/arraybuffer.js that tests for memory
leaks in Decoder as well.
This is a squash of a few commits. Below is a small summary of commits.
Results from it: before the build size of socket.io-client was ~250K.
Now it is ~215K.
Tests I was doing here
(https://github.com/kevin-roark/socketio-binaryexample/tree/speed-testing)
take about 1/4 - 1/5 as long with this commit compared to msgpack.
The first was the initial rewrite of the encoding, which removes msgpack
and instead uses a sequence of engine.write's for a binary event. The
first write is the packet metadata with placeholders in the json for
any binary data. Then the following events are the raw binary data that
get filled by the placeholders.
The second commit was bug fixes that made the tests pass.
The third commit was removing unnecssary packages from package.json.
Fourth commit was adding nice comments, and 5th commit was merging
upstream.
The remaining commits involved merging with actual socket.io-parser,
rather than the protocol repository. Oops.
