Performance issue #176
Description
First of all, thanks for writing this library :)
We're running into a performance issue that I wanted to alert you to.
We're loading a fairly large (~900KB) JSON schema file, parsing it, and running the resulting JavaScript object through this library's dereference() function. The dereference() call takes around 68 seconds to complete.
We've disabled all loading of local or external files, so I don't think that any of the time spent in dereference() is due to loading external resources.
Here's basically what the code looks like:
const rawSchema = fetch(...);
const schema = JSON.parse(rawSchema);
if (typeof (schema) !== 'object')
throw `The schema was not an object.`;
const options = {
parse: {
json: false,
yaml: false,
text: false,
binary: false
},
resolve: {
external: false,
file: false,
http: false
},
continueOnError: false,
dereference: {
circular: true
}
};
console.log(performance.now());
$SchemaRefParser
.dereference(schema, options)
.then(dereferencedSchema => {
console.log(performance.now());
});The schema does contain circular references.
