  • Qap is a quick parser for string or buffer patterns.
  • It is optimized for using with pattern strings <= 255 bytes.
  • Better results are achieved with long and sparse patterns.
  • It is an implementation of QuickSearch algorithm.

###Main features

Given a m-length pattern and n-length data and σ-length alphabet ( σ = 256 ):

  • simplification of the Boyer-Moore algorithm ( see Bop ).
  • uses only a bad-character shift table.
  • preprocessing phase in O(m+σ) time and O(σ) space complexity.
  • searching phase in O(m*n) time complexity.
  • very fast in practice for short patterns and large alphabets.

See Lecroq for reference and also Bop, a Boyer-Moore parser.

###Install

$ npm install qap [-g]

require:

var Qap = require( 'qap' );

###Run Tests

$cd qap/
$npm test

###Run Benchmarks

$ cd qap/
$ npm run-script bench

###Constructor

Create an instance with a Buffer or String pattern.

Qap( Buffer || String pattern )
// or
neq Qap( Buffer || String pattern )

###Methods

List all pattern occurrences into a String or Buffer data. It returns a new array of indexes, or populates an array passed as the last argument to parse method.

// slower with String
Qap#parse( String data [, Number startFromIndex [, Number limitResultsTo [, Array array ] ] ] ) : Array

// faster with Buffer
Qap#parse( Buffer data [, Number startFromIndex [, Number limitResultsTo [, Array array ] ] ] ) : Array

Change the pattern :

Qap#set( Buffer || String pattern ) : Buffer

###Usage Example

var log = console.log
    , assert = require( 'assert' )
    , Qap = require( 'qap' )
    , pattern = 'hellofolks\r\n\r\n'
    , text = 'hehe' + pattern +'loremipsumhellofolks\r\n' + pattern
    , bresult = null
    ;

// create an instance and parse the pattern
var qap = Qap( pattern )
    // parse data from beginning
    , results = qap.parse( text )
    ;

// set a new Buffer pattern
qap.set( new Buffer( pattern ) );

// parse data uffer instead of a String
bresults = qap.parse( new Buffer( text ) );

// parser results ( starting indexes ) [ 4, 40 ]
log( results, bresults );

// results are the same
assert.deepEqual( results, bresults );

####Benchmark for a small pattern ( length <= 255 bytes )

Parser uses a Buffer 256-bytes long to build the shifting table, then:

  • Pattern parsing / table creation space and time complexity is O(σ).
  • Very low memory footprint.
  • Ultra fast to preprocess pattern ( = table creation ).
  $ node bench/small-pattern-data-rate

for default it:

  • uses a pattern string of 57 bytes/chars
  • builds a data buffer of 700 MB in memory
  • uses a redundancy/distance factor for pattern strings equal to 2. The bigger the value, the lesser are occurrences of pattern string into the text buffer.

Custom Usage:

  # with [testBufferSizeInMB] [distanceFactor] [aStringPattern]
  $ node bench/small-pattern-data-rate.js 700 4 "that'sallfolks"

####Benchmark for a big pattern ( length > 255 bytes )

Parser uses one Array to build the shifting table for a big pattern, then:

  • table has a size of 256 elements, every element is an integer value that could be between 0 and the pattern length.
  • Fast to preprocess pattern ( = table creation ).
  • Low memory footprint
  $ node bench/big-pattern-data-rate
  • it uses a pattern size of 20MB
  • builds a data buffer of 300MB copying pattern 12 times
