We tested the parsing and validation speed (using .NET Stopwatch) and memory allocation of the .NET Core 3.1 version of EDI Tools for .NET.

Prerequisites

• Configure the Template for splitting

  We did two tests for parsing and validation of the large file - with and without splitting. Following the steps in the Parsing large EDI files article, the [Splitter] attribute was added to the 2000 Loop in 835's template:

  [Splitter]
  [DataMember]
  [Required]
  [Pos(7)]
  public virtual List<Loop_2000_834> Loop2000 { get; set; }

  In code, set Split = true to enable splitting, and Split = false to disable it.

• Small file

  Download the file, that contains a single X12 5010 834 message with 2 employee enrollments. 

• Large file

  Download the file, that contains a single X12 5010 834 message with 100 000 employee enrollments.

• System Setup

  EdiFabric.10.1.0

  BenchmarkDotNet=v0.12.0

  OS=Windows 10.0.18363

  Intel Core i7-9700 CPU 3.00GHz, 1 CPU, 8 logical and 8 physical cores

  .NET Core SDK=3.1.402

  [Host] : .NET Core 3.1.8 (CoreCLR 4.700.20.41105, CoreFX 4.700.20.41903), X64 RyuJIT

Test the parsing speed

The code:

public static void Run()
{
   Stopwatch watch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
   var edi = File.OpenRead(@"C:\Hipaa_834_Large.txt");
   using (var ediReader = new X12Reader(edi, "EdiFabric.Templates.Hipaa", 
      new X12ReaderSettings { Split = false }))
   {
      while (ediReader.Read())
      {
      }
   }
   watch.Stop();
   Console.Write(watch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
   Console.ReadKey();            
}

The results:

Test the validation speed

The code:

public static void Run()
{
   var validation = new List<Task<Tuple<bool, MessageErrorContext>>>();
   Stopwatch watch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
   var edi = File.OpenRead(@"C:\Hipaa_834_Large.txt");
   using (var ediReader = new X12Reader(edi, "EdiFabric.Templates.Hipaa", 
      new X12ReaderSettings { Split = false }))
   {
      while (await ediReader.ReadAsync())
      {
          MessageErrorContext mec;
          var msg = ediReader.Item as TS834;
          if (msg != null)
          {
              validation.Add(msg.IsValidAsync());
          }
      }
   }
   Task.WaitAll(validation.ToArray());
   watch.Stop();
   Console.Write(watch.ElapsedMilliseconds);
   Console.ReadKey();            
}

The results:
