nano-memoize | micro ... a nano speed | Runtime Evironment library

nano-memoize is a JavaScript library typically used in Server, Runtime Evironment, Nodejs applications. nano-memoize has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can install using 'npm i @silverwind/nano-memoize' or download it from GitHub, npm.

The devs caiogondim and planttheidea have produced great memoizers. We analyzed their code to see if we could build something faster than fast-memoize and smaller than micro-memoize while adding back some of the functionality of moize removed in micro-memoize. We think we have done it ... but credit to them ... we just merged the best ideas in both and eliminated excess code. During development we also discovered that despite its popularity and goal to be the fastest possible memoizer, fast-memoize is actually one of the slowest out-of-the-box when it comes to multiple argument functions because it uses JSON.stringify to generate a single key generator for all arguments. It also only memoizes out to 3 arguments, which may cause issues. This is not to say it should not be used, it also seems to have the cleanest software architecture and it may be theoretically possible to write a high-speed multi-argument plugin. And, MANY people are very happy with it. Special appreciation to @titoBouzout and @popbee who spent a good bit of time reviewing code for optimization and making recommendations. See Issue 4 for the conversation. The minified/brotli size is 789 bytes for nano-memoize v1.2.0 vs 1,356 bytes for micro-memoize v4.08. And, nano-memoize has slightly more functionality. The speed tests are below. At the time of testing the most recent version of fast-memoize 2.5.1 was a year old. The most recent version of micro-memoize 4.0.8 was 3 months old. We have found that benchmarks can vary dramatically from O/S to O/S or Node version to Node version. These tests were run on a Windows 10 Pro 64bit 1.8ghz i7 machine with 16GB RAM and Node v12.7.0. Also, even with multiple samplings, garbage collection can have a substative impact and multiple runs in different orders are really required for apples-to-apples comparisons.
