# 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.
|
|
|
|
The API is very small, taking its cue from the other hashing packages in the
|
|
standard library:
|
|
|
|
$ go doc github.com/cespare/xxhash !
|
|
package xxhash // import "github.com/cespare/xxhash"
|
|
|
|
Package xxhash implements the 64-bit variant of xxHash (XXH64) as described
|
|
at http://cyan4973.github.io/xxHash/.
|
|
|
|
func New() hash.Hash64
|
|
func Sum64(b []byte) uint64
|
|
func Sum64String(s string) uint64
|
|
|
|
This implementation provides a fast pure-Go implementation and an even faster
|
|
assembly implementation for amd64.
|
|
|
|
## Benchmarks
|
|
|
|
Here are some quick benchmarks comparing the pure-Go and assembly
|
|
implementations of Sum64 against another popular Go XXH64 implementation,
