:fire:toastedmarshmallow:fire:: Makes Marshmallow Toasty Fast


Toasted Marshmallow implements a JIT for marshmallow that speeds up dumping objects 10-25X (depending on your schema). Toasted Marshmallow allows you to have the great API that Marshmallow <https://github.com/marshmallow-code/marshmallow>_ provides without having to sacrifice performance!

  Original Time: 2682.61 usec/dump
  Optimized Time: 176.38 usec/dump
  Speed up: 15.21x

Even PyPy benefits from toastedmarshmallow!

	Optimized Time: 20.03 usec/dump
	Speed up: 9.48x

Installing toastedmarshmallow

.. code-block:: bash

pip install toastedmarshmallow

This will also install a slightly-forked marshmallow that includes some hooks Toastedmarshmallow needs enable the JIT to run before falling back to the original marshmallow code. These changes are minimal making it easier to track upstream. You can find the changes Here <https://github.com/marshmallow-code/marshmallow/pull/629/files>_.

This means you should remove marshmallow from your requirements and replace it with toastedmarshmallow. By default there is no difference unless you explicitly enable Toasted Marshmallow.

Enabling Toasted Marshmallow

Enabling Toasted Marshmallow on an existing Schema is just one line of code, set the jit property on any Schema instance to toastedmarshmallow.Jit. For example:

.. code-block:: python

from datetime import date
import toastedmarshmallow
from marshmallow import Schema, fields, pprint

class ArtistSchema(Schema):
    name = fields.Str()

class AlbumSchema(Schema):
    title = fields.Str()
    release_date = fields.Date()
    artist = fields.Nested(ArtistSchema())

schema = AlbumSchema()
# Specify the jit method as toastedmarshmallow's jit
schema.jit = toastedmarshmallow.Jit
# And that's it!  Your dump methods are 15x faster!

It's also possible to use the Meta class on the Marshmallow schema to specify all instances of a given Schema should be optimized:

.. code-block:: python

import toastedmarshmallow
from marshmallow import Schema, fields, pprint

class ArtistSchema(Schema):
    class Meta:
        jit = toastedMarshmallow.Jit
    name = fields.Str()

You can also enable Toasted Marshmallow globally by setting the environment variable MARSHMALLOW_SCHEMA_DEFAULT_JIT to toastedmarshmallow.Jit . Future versions of Toasted Marshmallow may make this the default.

How it works

Toasted Marshmallow works by generating code at runtime to optimize dumping objects without going through layers and layers of reflection. The generated code optimistically assumes the objects being passed in are schematically valid, falling back to the original marshmallow code on failure.

For example, taking AlbumSchema from above, Toastedmarshmallow will generate the following 3 methods:

.. code-block:: python

def InstanceSerializer(obj):
    res = {}
    value = obj.release_date; value = value() if callable(value) else value; res["release_date"] = _field_release_date__serialize(value, "release_date", obj)
    value = obj.artist; value = value() if callable(value) else value; res["artist"] = _field_artist__serialize(value, "artist", obj)
    value = obj.title; value = value() if callable(value) else value; value = str(value) if value is not None else None; res["title"] = value
    return res

def DictSerializer(obj):
    res = {}
    if "release_date" in obj:
        value = obj["release_date"]; value = value() if callable(value) else value; res["release_date"] = _field_release_date__serialize(value, "release_date", obj)
    if "artist" in obj:
        value = obj["artist"]; value = value() if callable(value) else value; res["artist"] = _field_artist__serialize(value, "artist", obj)
    if "title" in obj:
        value = obj["title"]; value = value() if callable(value) else value; value = str(value) if value is not None else None; res["title"] = value
    return res

def HybridSerializer(obj):
    res = {}
    try:
        value = obj["release_date"]
    except (KeyError, AttributeError, IndexError, TypeError):
        value = obj.release_date
    value = value; value = value() if callable(value) else value; res["release_date"] = _field_release_date__serialize(value, "release_date", obj)
    try:
        value = obj["artist"]
    except (KeyError, AttributeError, IndexError, TypeError):
        value = obj.artist
    value = value; value = value() if callable(value) else value; res["artist"] = _field_artist__serialize(value, "artist", obj)
    try:
        value = obj["title"]
    except (KeyError, AttributeError, IndexError, TypeError):
        value = obj.title
    value = value; value = value() if callable(value) else value; value = str(value) if value is not None else None; res["title"] = value
    return res

Toastedmarshmallow will invoke the proper serializer based upon the input.

Since Toastedmarshmallow is generating code at runtime, it's critical you re-use Schema objects. If you're creating a new Schema object every time you serialize/deserialize an object you'll likely have much worse performance.
