xxHash

Ruby wrapper for xxHash

Install

gem install xxhash

Usage

require 'xxhash'

text = "test"
seed = 12345

XXhash.xxh32(text, seed) # => 3834992036

If you do not provide a seed, it will use the default value 0.

You can use it with IO objects too:

XXhash.xxh32_stream(StringIO.new('test'), 123) # => 2758658570

You can use it with file path directly, avoiding costly ruby-related operations.

XXhash.xxh32_file(__FILE__)

Note that you can also pass a chunk size as third param (it's 32 bytes by default)

XXH64 is also supported: you can use xxh64, xxh64_stream, .xxh64_file.

Supported Ruby versions

• MRI 3.1+

Note: It doesn't work on JRuby as it uses C extension.
