This pull request adds the option
disable_visit_errors
, which disables the raising of errors during runtime. Parse errors will still be raised, but all exceptions duringNode.visit(object)
are disabled andnil
is returned instead.We process very large amounts of data and sometimes objects do not have quite the right properties. So we have to catch
InvalidArityError
andInvalidTypeError
since there is no way to preemptively check for these errors. This has quite a large overhead, especially in JRuby.I did some benchmarks with objects that always result in an exception, and this branch had a 40% speed increase in MRI, and a 500% increase in JRuby.
When not raising errors, there's no measurable difference between this branch and master, and also no difference between
disable_visit_errors
being off or on.
