The files in this subdirectory are used to help measure the performance
of the SQLite JSON functions, especially in relation to handling large
JSON inputs.

# Prerequisites

* Standard SQLite build environment (SQLite source tree, compiler, make, etc.)
* Valgrind
* Fossil (only the "fossil xdiff" command is used by this procedure)
* tclsh

# Setup

* Run: `tclsh json-generator.tcl | sqlite3 json100mb.db` to create
      the 100 megabyte test database.  Do this so that the "json100mb.db"
      file lands in the directory from which you will run tests, not in
      the test/json subdirectory of the source tree.
* Make a copy of "json100mb.db" into "jsonb100mb.db" - change the prefix
      from "json" to "jsonb".
* Bring up jsonb100mb.db in the sqlite3 command-line shell.
  Convert all of the content into JSONB using a commands like this:

    ```sql
    UPDATE data1 SET x=jsonb(x);
    VACUUM;
    ```

* Build the baseline sqlite3.c file with sqlite3.h and shell.c.

  ```sh
  make clean sqlite3.c
  ```

* Run "`sh json-speed-check.sh trunk`".   This creates the baseline
      profile in "jout-trunk.txt" for the performance test using text JSON.
* Run "`sh json-speed-check.sh trunk --jsonb`".  This creates the
      baseline profile in "joutb-trunk.txt" for the performance test
      for processing JSONB
* (Optional) Verify that the json100mb.db database really does contain
  approximately 100MB of JSON content by running:

    ```sql
    SELECT sum(length(x)) FROM data1;
    SELECT * FROM data1 WHERE NOT json_valid(x);
    ```

# Testing

* Build the sqlite3.c (with sqlite3.h and shell.c) to be tested.
* Run "`sh json-speed-check.sh x1`".  The profile output will appear in jout-x1.txt.  Substitute any label you want in place of "x1".
* Run "`sh json-speed-check.sh x1 --jsonb`".  The profile output will appear in joutb-x1.txt.  Substitute any label you want in place of "x1".
* Run the script shown below in the CLI. Divide 2500 by the real elapse time from this test to get an estimate for number of MB/s that the JSON parser is able to process.

    ```sql
    .open json100mb.db
    .timer on
    WITH RECURSIVE c(n) AS (VALUES(1) UNION ALL SELECT n+1 FROM c WHERE n<25)
    SELECT sum(json_valid(x)) FROM c, data1;
    ```
