Re: Multi language support in webapp

[ThomasTJdev]

Thank you for the suggestions. I was not aware of NimYAML - I'll give it a look.

My main purpose of the question was to ensure, that my solution using _tables_ 
had "the best" performance. When doing a simple comparing of _tables_, _const_ 
and _parsecfg_ with echo, constants is the winner. But I have not yet figured 
out, how to access them with concentrated strings.
    
    
    import strutils, times, tables, parsecfg
    
    
    # First run
    # Tables
    const langFile = "help_DKc=Hjælp"
    var data1 = initTable[string, string]()
    var dead1 = ""
    for line in langFile.splitLines:
      var chunks = split(line, '=')
      data1[chunks[0]] = chunks[1]
    
    let t1 = epochTime()
    for i in countup(1, 1000):
      #echo data1["help_DKc"]
      dead1 = data1["help_DKc"]
    
    let t1done = epochTime() - t1
    
    
    
    # Second run
    # Constants
    const help_DKc = "Hjælp"
    var dead2 = ""
    
    let t2 = epochTime()
    for i in countup(1, 1000):
      #echo help_DKc
      dead2 = help_DKc
    
    let t2done = epochTime() - t2
    
    
    
    # First run
    # Parsecfg
    var dict = newConfig()
    dict.setSectionKey("help","DKc","Hjælp")
    var dead3 = ""
    
    let t3 = epochTime()
    for i in countup(1, 1000):
      #echo dict.getSectionValue("help","DKc")
      dead3 = dict.getSectionValue("help","DKc")
    
    let t3done = epochTime() - t3
    
    
    
    echo "Tables:   " & $t1done
    echo "Constant: " & $t2done
    echo "Parsecfg: " & $t3done
    
    # Tables:   0.000804901123046875
    # Constant: 0.0003900527954101562
    # Parsecfg: 0.001749038696289062
