R3
================
R3 is an URL router library with high performance, thus, it's implemented in C.
It compiles your route paths into a prefix trie.
By using the constructed prefix trie in the start-up time, you can dispatch
routes with efficiency.
Requirement
-----------------------
* autoconf
* automake
* check
* pcre
* jemalloc
* graphviz version 2.38.0 (20140413.2041)
Pattern Syntax
-----------------------
/blog/post/{id} use [^/]+ regular expression by default.
/blog/post/{id:\d+} use `\d+` regular expression instead of default.
C API
------------------------
```c
// create a router tree with 10 children capacity (this capacity can grow dynamically)
n = r3_tree_create(10);
int route_data = 3;
// insert the route path into the router tree
r3_tree_insert_pathn(n , "/zoo" , strlen("/zoo") , &route_data );
r3_tree_insert_pathn(n , "/foo/bar" , strlen("/foo/bar") , &route_data );
r3_tree_insert_pathn(n , "/bar" , strlen("/bar") , &route_data );
r3_tree_insert_pathn(n , "/post/{id}" , strlen("/post/{id}") , &route_data );
// let's compile the tree!
r3_tree_compile(n);
// dump the compiled tree
r3_tree_dump(n, 0);
// match a route
node *matched_node = r3_tree_match(n, "/foo/bar", strlen("/foo/bar") );
matched_node->endpoint; // make sure there is a route end at here.
int ret = *( (*int) matched_node->route_ptr );
```
Benchmark
-----------------------
The routing benchmark from stevegraham/rails' PR <https://github.com/stevegraham/rails/pull/1>:
omg 10462.0 (±6.7%) i/s - 52417 in 5.030416s
And here is the result of the router journey:
omg 9932.9 (±4.8%) i/s - 49873 in 5.033452s
r3 uses the same route path data for benchmarking, and here is the benchmark:
3 runs, 5000000 iterations each run, finished in 1.308894 seconds
11460057.83 i/sec
The matching speed of r3 is 1153+ times faster than rails' trie router.
### The benchmarking route paths
The route path generator is from <https://github.com/stevegraham/rails/pull/1>:
```ruby
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
arr = ["foo", "bar", "baz", "qux", "quux", "corge", "grault", "garply"]
paths = arr.permutation(3).map { |a| "/#{a.join '/'}" }
paths.each do |path|
puts "r3_tree_insert_path(n, \"#{path}\", NULL);"
end
```
Rendering routes with graphviz
-------------------------------
The `test_gvc_render_file` API let you render the whole route trie into a image.

Or you can even export it with dot format:
```dot
digraph g {
graph [bb="0,0,205.1,471"];
node [label="\N"];
"{root}" [height=0.5,
pos="35.097,453",
width=0.97491];
"#1" [height=0.5,
pos="35.097,366",
width=0.75];
....
```
Use case in PHP
-----------------------
```php
// Here is the paths data structure
$paths = [
'/blog/post/{id}' => [ 'controller' => 'PostController' , 'action' => 'item' , 'method' => 'GET' ] ,
'/blog/post' => [ 'controller' => 'PostController' , 'action' => 'list' , 'method' => 'GET' ] ,
'/blog/post' => [ 'controller' => 'PostController' , 'action' => 'create' , 'method' => 'POST' ] ,
'/blog' => [ 'controller' => 'BlogController' , 'action' => 'list' , 'method' => 'GET' ] ,
];
$rs = r3_compile($paths, 'persisten-table-id');
$ret = r3_dispatch($rs, '/blog/post/3' );
list($complete, $route, $variables) = $ret;
// matched conditions aren't done yet
list($error, $message) = r3_validate($route); // validate route conditions
if ( $error ) {
echo $message; // "Method not allowed", "...";
}
```
