Lib0

Monorepo of isomorphic utility functions

This library is meant to replace all global JavaScript functions with isomorphic module imports. Additionally, it implements several performance-oriented utility modules. Most noteworthy are the binary encoding/decoding modules [lib0/encoding] / [lib0/decoding], the randomized testing framework [lib0/testing], the fast Pseudo Random Number Generator [lib0/PRNG], the small socket.io alternative [lib0/websocket], and the logging module [lib0/logging] that allows colorized logging in all environments. Lib0 has only one dependency, which is also from the author of lib0. If lib0 is transpiled with rollup or webpack, very little code is produced because of the way that it is written. All exports are pure and are removed by transpilers that support dead code elimination. Here is an example of how dead code elemination and mangling optimizes code from lib0:

// How the code is optimized by transpilers:

// lib0/json.js
export const stringify = JSON.stringify
export const parse = JSON.parse

// index.js
import * as json from 'lib0/json'
export const f = (arg1, arg2) => json.stringify(arg1) + json.stringify(arg2)

// compiled with rollup and uglifyjs:
const s=JSON.stringify,f=(a,b)=>s(a)+s(b)
export {f}

Performance resources

Each function in this library is tested thoroughly and is not deoptimized by v8 (except some logging and comparison functions that can't be implemented without deoptimizations). This library implements its own test suite that is designed for randomized testing and inspecting performance issues.

Code style

The code style might be a bit different from what you are used to. Stay open. Most of the design choices have been thought through. The purpose of this code style is to create code that is optimized by the compiler and that results in small code bundles when used with common module bundlers. Keep that in mind when reading the library.

• No polymorphism!
• Modules should only export pure functions and constants. This way the module bundler can eliminate dead code. The statement const x = someCondition ? A : B cannot be eleminated, because it is tied to a condition.
• Use Classes for structuring data. Classes are well supported by jsdoc and are immediately optimized by the compiler. I.e. prefer class Coord { constructor (x, y) { this.x = x; this.y = y} } instead of { x: x, y: y }, because the compiler needs to be assured that the order of properties does not change. { y: y, x: x } has a different hidden class than { x: x, y: y }, which will lead to code deoptimizations if their use is alternated.
• The user of your module should never create data objects with the new keyword. Prefer exporting factory functions like const createCoordinate = (x, y) => new Coord(x, y).
• The use of class methods is discouraged, because method names can't be mangled or removed by dead code elimination.
• The only acceptable use of methods is when two objects implement functionality differently. E.g. class Duck { eat () { swallow() } } and class Cow { eat () { chew() } } have the same signature, but implement it differently.
• Prefer const variable declarations. Use let only in loops. const always leads to easier code.
• Keep the potential execution stack small and compartmentalized. Nobody wants to debug spaghetti code.
• Give proper names to your functions and ask yourself if you would know what the function does if you saw it in the execution stack.
• Avoid recursion. There is a stack limit in most browsers and not every recursive function is optimized by the compiler.
• Semicolons are superfluous. Lint with https://standardjs.com/

Using lib0

lib0 contains isomorphic modules that work in nodejs, the browser, and other environments. It exports modules as the commonjs and the new esm module format.

If possible,

ESM module

import module from 'lib0/[module]' // automatically resolves to lib0/[module].js

CommonJS

require('lib0/[module]') // automatically resolves to lib0/dist/[module].cjs

Manual

Automatically resolving to commonjs and esm modules is implemented using conditional exports which is available in node>=v12. If support for older versions is required, then it is recommended to define the location of the module manually:

import module from 'lib0/[module].js'
// require('lib0/dist/[module].cjs')

[lib0/encoding] Efficient schema-less binary encoding with support for variable length encoding.

import * as encoding from 'lib0/encoding'

Use [lib0/encoding] with [lib0/decoding]. Every encoding function has a corresponding decoding function.

Encodes numbers in little-endian order (least to most significant byte order) and is compatible with Golang's binary encoding (https://golang.org/pkg/encoding/binary/) which is also used in Protocol Buffers.

// encoding step
const encoder = encoding.createEncoder()
encoding.writeVarUint(encoder, 256)
encoding.writeVarString(encoder, 'Hello world!')
const buf = encoding.toUint8Array(encoder)

// decoding step
const decoder = decoding.createDecoder(buf)
decoding.readVarUint(decoder) // => 256
decoding.readVarString(decoder) // => 'Hello world!'
decoding.hasContent(decoder) // => false - all data is read

A BinaryEncoder handles the encoding to an Uint8Array.

encoding.Encoder#bufs: Array<Uint8Array>

encoding.toUint8Array(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder): Uint8Array

Transform to Uint8Array.

encoding.verifyLen(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder, len: number)

Verify that it is possible to write len bytes wtihout checking. If necessary, a new Buffer with the required length is attached.

encoding.write(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder, num: number)

Write one byte to the encoder.

encoding.set(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder, pos: number, num: number)

Write one byte at a specific position. Position must already be written (i.e. encoder.length > pos)

encoding.writeUint8(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder, num: number)

Write one byte as an unsigned integer.

encoding.setUint8(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder, pos: number, num: number)

Write one byte as an unsigned Integer at a specific location.

encoding.writeUint16(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder, num: number)

Write two bytes as an unsigned integer.

encoding.setUint16(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder, pos: number, num: number)

Write two bytes as an unsigned integer at a specific location.

encoding.writeUint32(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder, num: number)

Write two bytes as an unsigned integer

encoding.writeUint32BigEndian(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder, num: number)

Write two bytes as an unsigned integer in big endian order. (most significant byte first)

encoding.setUint32(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder, pos: number, num: number)

Write two bytes as an unsigned integer at a specific location.

encoding.writeVarUint(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder, num: number)

Write a variable length unsigned integer. Max encodable integer is 2^53.

encoding.writeVarInt(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder, num: number)

Write a variable length integer.

We use the 7th bit instead for signaling that this is a negative number.

encoding.writeUint8Array(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder, uint8Array: Uint8Array)

// write float32 using DataView
const dv = writeOnDataView(encoder, 4)
dv.setFloat32(0, 1.1)
// read float32 using DataView
const dv = readFromDataView(encoder, 4)
dv.getFloat32(0) // => 1.100000023841858 (leaving it to the reader to find out why this is the correct result)

encoding.writeFloat32(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder, num: number)
encoding.writeFloat64(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder, num: number)
encoding.writeBigInt64(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder, num: bigint)
encoding.writeBigUint64(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder, num: bigint)
encoding.writeAny(encoder: module:encoding.Encoder, data: undefined|null|number|bigint|boolean|string|Object<string,any>|Array<any>|Uint8Array)

Encode data with efficient binary format.

Differences to JSON: • Transforms data to a binary format (not to a string) • Encodes undefined, NaN, and ArrayBuffer (these can't be represented in JSON) • Numbers are efficiently encoded either as a variable length integer, as a 32 bit float, as a 64 bit float, or as a 64 bit bigint.

Encoding table:

Data Type	Prefix	Encoding Method	Comment
undefined	127		Functions, symbol, and everything that cannot be identified is encoded as undefined
null	126
integer	125	writeVarInt	Only encodes 32 bit signed integers
float32	124	writeFloat32
float64	123	writeFloat64
bigint	122	writeBigInt64
boolean (false)	121		True and false are different data types so we save the following byte
boolean (true)	120		- 0b01111000 so the last bit determines whether true or false
string	119	writeVarString
object<string,any>	118	custom	Writes {length} then {length} key-value pairs
array	117	custom	Writes {length} then {length} json values
Uint8Array	116	writeVarUint8Array	We use Uint8Array for any kind of binary data

Reasons for the decreasing prefix: We need the first bit for extendability (later we may want to encode the prefix with writeVarUint). The remaining 7 bits are divided as follows: [0-30] the beginning of the data range is used for custom purposes (defined by the function that uses this library) [31-127] the end of the data range is used for data encoding by lib0/encoding.js

new encoding.RleEncoder(writer: function(module:encoding.Encoder, T):void)

Now come a few stateful encoder that have their own classes.

encoding.RleEncoder#s: T|null

Current state

encoding.RleEncoder#write(v: T)
new encoding.IntDiffEncoder(start: number)

Basic diff decoder using variable length encoding.

Encodes the values [3, 1100, 1101, 1050, 0] to [3, 1097, 1, -51, -1050] using writeVarInt.

encoding.IntDiffEncoder#s: number

Current state

encoding.IntDiffEncoder#write(v: number)
new encoding.RleIntDiffEncoder(start: number)

A combination of IntDiffEncoder and RleEncoder.

Basically first writes the IntDiffEncoder and then counts duplicate diffs using RleEncoding.

Encodes the values [1,1,1,2,3,4,5,6] as [1,1,0,2,1,5] (RLE([1,0,0,1,1,1,1,1]) ⇒ RleIntDiff[1,1,0,2,1,5])

encoding.RleIntDiffEncoder#s: number

Current state

encoding.RleIntDiffEncoder#write(v: number)
new encoding.UintOptRleEncoder()

Optimized Rle encoder that does not suffer from the mentioned problem of the basic Rle encoder.

Internally uses VarInt encoder to write unsigned integers. If the input occurs multiple times, we write write it as a negative number. The UintOptRleDecoder then understands that it needs to read a count.

Encodes [1,2,3,3,3] as [1,2,-3,3] (once 1, once 2, three times 3)

encoding.UintOptRleEncoder#s: number
encoding.UintOptRleEncoder#write(v: number)
encoding.UintOptRleEncoder#toUint8Array()
new encoding.IncUintOptRleEncoder()

Increasing Uint Optimized RLE Encoder

The RLE encoder counts the number of same occurences of the same value. The IncUintOptRle encoder counts if the value increases. I.e. 7, 8, 9, 10 will be encoded as [-7, 4]. 1, 3, 5 will be encoded as [1, 3, 5].

encoding.IncUintOptRleEncoder#s: number
encoding.IncUintOptRleEncoder#write(v: number)
encoding.IncUintOptRleEncoder#toUint8Array()
new encoding.IntDiffOptRleEncoder()

A combination of the IntDiffEncoder and the UintOptRleEncoder.

The count approach is similar to the UintDiffOptRleEncoder, but instead of using the negative bitflag, it encodes in the LSB whether a count is to be read. Therefore this Encoder only supports 31 bit integers!

Encodes [1, 2, 3, 2] as [3, 1, 6, -1] (more specifically [(1 << 1) | 1, (3 << 0) | 0, -1])

Internally uses variable length encoding. Contrary to normal UintVar encoding, the first byte contains:

• 1 bit that denotes whether the next value is a count (LSB)
• 1 bit that denotes whether this value is negative (MSB - 1)
• 1 bit that denotes whether to continue reading the variable length integer (MSB)

Therefore, only five bits remain to encode diff ranges.

Use this Encoder only when appropriate. In most cases, this is probably a bad idea.

encoding.IntDiffOptRleEncoder#s: number
encoding.IntDiffOptRleEncoder#write(v: number)
encoding.IntDiffOptRleEncoder#toUint8Array()
new encoding.StringEncoder()

Optimized String Encoder.

Encoding many small strings in a simple Encoder is not very efficient. The function call to decode a string takes some time and creates references that must be eventually deleted. In practice, when decoding several million small strings, the GC will kick in more and more often to collect orphaned string objects (or maybe there is another reason?).

This string encoder solves the above problem. All strings are concatenated and written as a single string using a single encoding call.

The lengths are encoded using a UintOptRleEncoder.

encoding.StringEncoder#sarr: Array<string>
encoding.StringEncoder#write(string: string)
encoding.StringEncoder#toUint8Array()
encoding.RleEncoder#bufs: Array<Uint8Array>
encoding.IntDiffEncoder#bufs: Array<Uint8Array>
encoding.RleIntDiffEncoder#bufs: Array<Uint8Array>

sort.quicksort(arr: Array<T>, compare: function(T,T):number): void

This algorithm beats Array.prototype.sort in Chrome only with arrays with 10 million entries. In most cases [].sort will do just fine. Make sure to performance test your use-case before you integrate this algorithm.

Note that Chrome's sort is now a stable algorithm (Timsort). Quicksort is not stable.

Add this to metro.config.js (see docs):

const config = {
  // ...
  resolver: {
    unstable_enablePackageExports: true
  }
}
