Fast Multipart Parser

This library includes an ultra-fast Rust based multipart parser. This parser is used by Starlite, but is developed separately - and can of course be used separately.

Installation

pip install fast-multipart-parser

Usage

The library exposes two functions parse_content_header and parse_multipart_form_data.

parse_content_header

This function is used to parse a Content-Disposition or Content-Type like header into two components - a value (string) and a parameters (dict).

from fast_multipart_parser import parse_content_header

result = parse_content_header(b"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"value\"")
# form-data, {"name": "value"}

Repository Setup

1. Run cargo install to setup the rust dependencies and poetry install to setup the python dependencies.
2. Install the pre-commit hooks with pre-commit install (requires pre-commit).

Building

Run poetry run maturin develop --release --strip to install a release wheel (without debugging info). This wheel can be used in tests and benchmarks.

Benchmarking

Benchmarks use pyperf. To execute them run poetry run python benchrmarks.py.
