Search Results for "run length encoding"

There's plenty of other CSV parsers in the wild, but I had a hard time finding what I wanted. Inspired by Python's csv module, I wanted a library with simple, intuitive syntax. Furthermore, I wanted support for special use cases such as calculating statistics on very large files. With the deluge of large datasets available, a performant CSV parser is a necessity. By using overlapped threads, memory-mapped IO, and efficient data structures, this parser can quickly tackle large CSV files....

Injection attacks can occur when transmitted data is not interpreted the same way by both the sender and the receiver. Guaranteeing equivalence in data interpretation, known as operational congruity, is achieved by separating fields of data on the basis of their length. When the length of the data is known, there is no risk of misinterpreting it on the basis of spaces or text delimiters. The Distinguished Encoding Rules, or DER, of the ASN.1 standard follows this approach but includes numerous constraints and, more importantly, demands that data fields to be described using binary metadata rather than text. ...
