Python bindings for the `simdjson`_ project, a SIMD-accelerated JSON parser.
If SIMD instructions are unavailable a fallback parser is used, making
pysimdjson safe to use anywhere.

Bindings are currently tested on OS X, Linux, and Windows for Python version
3.9 to 3.12.

Installation
------------

If binary wheels are available for your platform, you can install from pip
with no further requirements:

.. code::

    pip install pysimdjson

Binary wheels are available for the following:

+--------------+-------+-------+-------+---------+---------+
|              |     x86_64            |  ARM64  | PowerPC |
+--------------+-------+-------+-------+---------+---------+
| Interpreter  | OS X  |  Win  | Linux | Linux   | Linux   |
+==============+=======+=======+=======+=========+=========+
| CPython 3.9  | Yes   | Yes   | Yes   | Yes     | Yes     |
+--------------+-------+-------+-------+---------+---------+
| CPython 3.10 | Yes   | Yes   | Yes   | Yes     | Yes     |
+--------------+-------+-------+-------+---------+---------+
| CPython 3.11 | Yes   | Yes   | Yes   | Yes     | Yes     |
+--------------+-------+-------+-------+---------+---------+
| CPython 3.12 | Yes   | Yes   | Yes   | Yes     | Yes     |
+--------------+-------+-------+-------+---------+---------+

When binary wheels are not available, a C++11 (or better) compiler is required
when installing in order to build the underlying simdjson library.

If you would prefer to always install pysimdjson from source even when
pre-compiled binaries are available (to take advantage of a newer compiler for
example), use:

.. code::

    pip install pysimdjson --no-binary :all:

.. admonition:: Packages
   :class: tip

   pysimdjson is also available from unofficial packages contributed by the
   community. You can currently get it from Gentoo and conda-forge. Note these
   may lag behind in releases.
