Boost文本序列化和二进制序列化的效率

文本序列化需要对二进制数据进行转换，还要加入分隔符，因此不仅效率低而且耗费更多的空间。写了一个小程序比较一下二者效率相差相差多少，发现还是蛮悬殊的。例子程序中对同一个对象序列化100万次，该对象包含几种常用的数据类型，除了比较速度，还比较二者耗费的空间大小。程序代码如下：

#include <iostream>

#include <string>

#include <sstream>

#include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp>

#include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp>

#include <boost/archive/binary_iarchive.hpp>

#include <boost/archive/binary_oarchive.hpp>

using namespace std;

class Test

{

public:

friend class boost::serialization::access;

Test(bool b, char ch, int i, double d, string str)

: m_bool(b), m_char(ch), m_int(i), m_double(d), m_str(str)

{

}

template<class Archive>

void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version)

{

ar& m_bool;

ar& m_char;

ar& m_int;

ar& m_double;

ar& m_str;

}

private:

bool m_bool;

char m_char;

int m_int;

double m_double;

string m_str;

};

int main()

{

Test test(true, 'm', 50, 17.89, "fuzhijie");

stringstream binary_sstream;

stringstream text_sstream;

long long begin, end;

int size;

//使用二进制的方式序列化

boost::archive::text_oarchive text_oa(text_sstream);

boost::archive::binary_oarchive binary_oa(binary_sstream);

begin = time(NULL);

for(int i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i)

{

text_oa << test;

}

end = time(NULL);

size = text_sstream.tellp() / (1024 * 1024);

cout << "text serialization seconds: " << end - begin << ", space: " << size << endl;

begin = time(NULL);

for(int i = 0; i < 1000000; ++i)

{

binary_oa << test;

}

end = time(NULL);

//以MB为单位

size = binary_sstream.tellp() / (1024 * 1024);

cout << "binary serialization seconds: " << end - begin << ", space: " << size << endl;

return 0;

};

连续测试三次，结果如下：

text serialization seconds: 37, space: 37

binary serialization seconds: 8, space: 24

text serialization seconds: 40, space: 37

binary serialization seconds: 8, space: 24

text serialization seconds: 37, space: 37

binary serialization seconds: 8, space: 24

从结果可以看出，二者速度相差5倍左右，耗费空间大小相差1.5倍左右。
