FastDoubleParser Versions Save

Summary:

This release fixes a NullPointerException and provides new optimised versions of the Double, Float, BigDecimal and BigInteger parsers for Java 21, and 22.

Fixes:

This release includes the following fixes:

• Issue #78: Fixes a NullPointerException which can occur whan parsing a BigDecimal number with 400 digits or more.

Changes:

This release also includes the following changes:

• On Java 22 and higher: Use the Foreign Function & Memory API for reading multiple digits at once from char arrays.
• On Java 21: Use Long.compress() for parsing digits in char arrays.
• On Java 19 and Java 20: Drop the optimisations for these JVMs. Please upgrade to Java 21.

Starting from this release we include the required notice- and license-files in the Jar files. This way, you automatically fulfill all licensing requirement when using a Jar file from this project.

This release reduces the size of the jar file and (very slightly) improves the performance of the parsers.

Fixes issue #26 "Parsing of hexadecimal floating point numbers" and improves performance.

Improves worst-case performance of BigDecimal and BigInteger parsers by factor 10. The BigInteger parser in class JavaBigIntegerParser is now compatible with the constructor new BigInteger(String val,int radix).

JavaBigIntegerParser throws now a NumberFormatException instead of returning a bogus result, when the input string contains a sequence of more than thousand characters instead of digits.

JavaBigIntegerParser throws now a NumberFormatException instead of returning a bogus result, when the input string contains characters instead of digits.

Throws now a NumberFormatException instead of IllegalArgumentException when the input string is empty: "".

This release fixes issue #26 "Parsing of hexadecimal floating point numbers".

This release adds parsers for BigDecimal and BigInteger.

The provided Jar file is a multi-release Jar that contains optimised code for Java 8, 11, 17 and 19.
