AyCode.Core.Serializers.Console

Standalone benchmark console application for comparing serializer performance. Targets .NET 9. Measures serialize/deserialize speed, output size, and compression across multiple serializers and data shapes.

Compared Serializers

• AcBinary — Multiple configurations: Default, NoRef, FastMode, NoIntern, with/without source generation
• MessagePack
• MemoryPack

(System.Text.Json and Newtonsoft.Json comparisons exist but are currently commented out.)

Key Files

• Program.cs — Benchmark runner. Modes: all (default), quick (fewer iterations), serialize, deserialize, profiler (memory profiler warmup). Outputs results to Test_Benchmark_Results/Benchmark/. Iterations: 5000 warmup + 1000 test (Release), 0+1 (Debug).
• BenchmarkTestDataProvider.cs — Test data factory producing 5 data shapes:
  • Small (2x2x2x2), Medium (3x3x3x4), Large (5x5x5x10)
  • Repeated Strings (10 items, string deduplication testing)
  • Deep Nested (2x4x4x8, depth stress test)
  • Uses TestOrder model from AyCode.Core.Tests with configurable IId reference percentages.
