Running on high performance parts
Included in ServiceStack are a number of other libraries that are useful in developing high-performance scalable web services.These sub-components are included in ServiceStack.dll but are also available to download seperately.
Text
Fastest and most compact JSON, JSV Text Serializers for .NET
- 3.5x quicker and 2.6x smaller than the .NET XML DataContractSerializer
- 5.3x quicker and 1.3x smaller than the .NET JSON DataContractSerializer
- view the benchmarks
- Fast
- Compact
- Human readable and writeable, self-describing text format
- Resilient to schema changes
- Non-invasive and configuration-free
Redis
Redis is arguably the best key-value store to come from the NoSQL movement.
Similar to memcached but the dataset is not volatile. Values can either be strings lists, sets, or ordered sets.
ServiceStack.Redis is fast, rich Opensource C# Redis client:
ServiceStack.Redis is fast, rich Opensource C# Redis client:
- Native support for persisting POCO objects
- Has both low-level raw bytes and high-level typed access
- Expose Redis server-side lists & sets as IList<> ICollection<>
- Rich API support
- Comprehensive regression and test suite
OrmLite
A fast, convention-based, configuration-free POCO
ORM providing lightweight extension methods
on top of
OrmLite is focused on it's core objectives:
IDbCommand and IDbConnection classes.
It uses standard Data Annotation attributes simplifying the effort required to access an RDBMS.
OrmLite is focused on it's core objectives:
- Performance - with support for indexes, text blobs, etc.
- Simplicity - with minimal, convention-based attribute configuration
- Expressive power and flexibility - with access to IDbCommand and raw SQL
- Portable - supports multiple dbs running on both .NET and Mono platforms.
Caching
As caching is an essential technology in the development of high-performance web services,
Service Stack has a number of different caching options available that each share the
same common client interface for the following cache providers:
- Memcached - The tried and tested most widely used cache provider
- Redis - The hottest and fastest new kid on the block
- In Memory Cache - Useful for single host web services and unit tests
- FileAndCacheTextManager - A two-tiered cache provider that has a backup filesystem cache
