JFiles

Introduction:

Almost 1 year ago I developed a file system that was called Just_INI which was EXTREMELY low (anyway i just published it in the spanish section) and that also had some issues, now 1 weak ago y got the idea of making this plugin; and here I am.

How does it work?

This plugin handles the files in a completely dynamic way by the use of vectors and maps in C++. The files just exist in the RAM memory of the computer until you convert them in a 'real' file using the cache_MakeRealFile function. This thing of using the files as they were "imaginary" allows you to access the data inside them VERY quickly.

Natives:

Код:

native JINI:cache_CreateFile();
native cache_WriteString(JINI:archivo, key[], val[]);
native cache_WriteInt(JINI:archivo, key[], val);
native cache_WriteFloat(JINI:archivo, key[], Float:val);
native cache_WriteBool(JINI:archivo, key[], bool:val);
native cache_GetString(JINI:archivo, key[], string[], size=sizeof(string));
native cache_GetInt(JINI:archivo, key[]);
native Float:cache_GetFloat(JINI:archivo, key[]);
native bool:cache_GetBool(JINI:archivo, key[]);
native cache_EraseFile(JINI:file);
native cache_MakeRealFile(JINI:JFile, new_file_name[]);
native cache_Clear();
native INI:cache_LoadFileIntoCache(file_name[]);
native cache_RemoveKey(JINI:JFile, key[], typeofkey);
native CreateFolder(folder[]);
native RemoveFolder(folder[]);
native cache_EditString(JINI:archivo, key[], str[]);
native cache_EditInt(JINI:archivo, key[], value);
native cache_EditFloat(JINI:archivo, key[], Float:value);
native cache_EditBool(JINI:archivo, key[], bool:value);

Speed test's:

Test 1:

Код:

[19:54:18] YSI: Write and get 1000 data of a file
[19:54:18] YSI: Took 487 ms.
[19:54:18] JFiles: Took 34 ms.

Test 2:

Код:

[19:54:43] YSI: YSI: Write and get 1000 data of a file
[19:54:44] YSI: Took 713 ms.
[19:54:44] JFiles: Took 36 ms.

Test 3:

Код:

[19:54:52] YSI: Write and get 1000 data of a file
[19:54:53] YSI: Took 719 ms.
[19:54:53] JFiles: Took 35 ms.

The code i did to take the benchmark

Documentation:

native cache_CreateFile();
- Creates a new 'file' in the main vector.
Return: This functions returns a handle to the created file.
Use:

pawn Код:

new JINI:archivo = cache_CreateFile();
cache_WriteInt(archivo, "Numero", 1000);
printf("El nъmero que escribi es %d", cache_GetInt(archivo, "Numero"));
//Will print: El nъmero que escribн es 1000

native cache_WriteString(JINI:archivo, key[], val[]);
- Writes a string to the specified file.
Return: It returns true if it wrote fine, otherwise it returns false if a key with the same name already exists.

native cache_WriteInt(JINI:archivo, key[], val);
- Writes a number to the specified file.
Return: It returns true if it wrote fine, otherwise it returns false if a key with the same name already exists.

native cache_WriteFloat(JINI:archivo, key[], Float:val);
- Writes a float number to the specified file.
Return: It returns true if it wrote fine, otherwise it returns false if a key with the same name already exists.

native cache_WriteBool(JINI:archivo, key[], bool:val);
- Writes a boolean value to the specified file.
Return: It returns true if it wrote fine, otherwise it returns false if a key with the same name already exists.

native cache_GetString(JINI:archivo, key[], string[], size=sizeof(string));
- It gets a string of a file that is hold by the correspondient key and passes by reference to the string parameter.
Return: If the file doesnt exists it returns false and no value is passed by reference

native cache_GetInt(JINI:archivo, key[]);

- Gets the value of a int-type key that's inside a file.
Return: Returns the number which was obtain, if the file or the key doesnt exist returns -1.

native Float:cache_GetFloat(JINI:archivo, key[]);

- Gets the value of a float-type key that's inside a file.
Return: Returns the number which was obtain, if the file or the key doesnt exist returns -1.

native bool:cache_GetBool(JINI:archivo, key[]);

- Gets the value of a boolean-type key that's inside a file.
Return: Returns the boolean number which was obtain, if the file or the key doesnt exist returns -1.

native cache_EraseFile(JINI:file);

- Erases the file of the memory and everything that was inside of it.
Return: If the specified file doesnt exist returns 0 otherwise returns 1.

native cache_MakeRealFile(JINI:JFile, new_file_name[]);


- Converts an imaginary file to a real one. The path is specified in the parameter <new_file_name>
Return: If the file does not exist or can not create the new file also returns 0 otherwise returns 1.

native cache_Clear();

- Clean the main vector erasing all data inside, this is mainly if you store too many files in memory and want to clean it not occupy a lot of RAM.

native INI:cache_LoadFileIntoCache(file_name[]);

- Store an actual file in memory so that you can manipulate the other functions of cache.
Return: A handle to the newly created file.

native cache_RemoveKey(JINI:JFile, key[], typeofkey);

- Deletes a "key" of the specified file, the key type must be specified in the typeofkey parameter
The enum that holds the key types.

pawn Код:

enum
{
    TYPE_STRING,
    TYPE_INT,
    TYPE_BOOL,
    TYPE_FLOAT
};

Return: Always returns 1.

native CreateFolder(folder[]);

- Create a new folder in the root folder on the server
Return: Returns 1 in all cases.

native RemoveFolder(folder[]);

- Deletes a folder from the root folder on the server.
Return: Returns 1 in all cases.

native cache_EditString(JINI:archivo, key[], str[]);

- Changes the string value of a key at the specified file.
Return: If the key does not exists returns 0 otherwise returns 1.

native cache_EditInt(JINI:archivo, key[], value);

- Changes the value of a int-type key at the specified file.
Return: If the key does not exists returns 0 otherwise returns 1.

native cache_EditFloat(JINI:archivo, key[], Float:value);

- Changes the value of a float-type key at the specified file.
Return: If the key does not exists returns 0 otherwise returns 1.

native cache_EditBool(JINI:archivo, key[], bool:value);

- Changes the value of a boolean-type key at the specified file.
Return: If the key does not exists returns 0 otherwise returns 1.

I still consider myself a noob in C++ so if you found any bug i would be very grateful; i am not a native speaker so please forgive any grammar mistake.

Looks good
Would you mind to share the source code with us?

This is a kind of an issue to compare the usefulness against other, since the data is in the cache and not written, it is useful for in-game data, on the other hand you can store in arrays and not update every action/on every change, but what if I want to access the updated data from other applications ? (PHP, Android app)

Umm, this is very simply done, just save the file often...

Quote:

cache_MakeRealFile(JINI:JFile, new_file_name[]);

Which is the same way you would do it with any other system...





@JustBored: Very nice, but it seems you were kinda trying to start a competition with Y-Less, you should have tried multiple systems... Not only that but try doing each in a different script, I'm not 100% sure there would be a difference but each script should have the same thing just different code...

Oh, I thought he is still talking about functions in C++

I just compared against y_ini because it's the fastest system so far, so if my code is quicker than y_ini it would be quicker than DINI and other systems. The source code is inside the .rar

Yes I know that, but it's still like you just called Y-Less out, you could say something like "It's not a competition but... ", it doesn't matter to me though, you still did a great job, I completely understand your viewpoint.
