# xxhash

|
|
xxhash is a Go implementation of the 64-bit
|
|
[xxHash](http://cyan4973.github.io/xxHash/) algorithm, XXH64. This is a
|
|
high-quality hashing algorithm that is much faster than anything in the Go
|
|
standard library.
|
|
|
|
This package provides a straightforward API:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
func Sum64(b []byte) uint64
|
|
func Sum64String(s string) uint64
|
|
type Digest struct{ ... }
|
|
func New() *Digest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `Digest` type implements hash.Hash64. Its key methods are:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
func (*Digest) Write([]byte) (int, error)
|
|
func (*Digest) WriteString(string) (int, error)
|
|
func (*Digest) Sum64() uint64
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This implementation provides a fast pure-Go implementation and an even faster
|
|
assembly implementation for amd64.
|
|
|
|
## Compatibility
|
|
|
|
This package is in a module and the latest code is in version 2 of the module.
|
|
You need a version of Go with at least "minimal module compatibility" to use
|
|
github.com/cespare/xxhash/v2:
|
|
|
|
* 1.9.7+ for Go 1.9
|
|
* 1.10.3+ for Go 1.10
|
|
* Go 1.11 or later
|
|
|
|
I recommend using the latest release of Go.
|
|
|
|
## Benchmarks
|
|
|
|
Here are some quick benchmarks comparing the pure-Go and assembly
|
|
implementations of Sum64.

These numbers were generated on Ubuntu 18.04 with an Intel i7-8700K CPU using
|
|
the following commands under Go 1.11.2:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ go test -tags purego -benchtime 10s -bench '/xxhash,direct,bytes'
|
|
$ go test -benchtime 10s -bench '/xxhash,direct,bytes'
