Well done, then! :) Is plait a drop-in replacement for faker?
- logv 9y agoit's a drop in replacement for stympy/faker, but not joke2k faker joke2k/faker is python and the data is stored in code (all or most of the random values are in .py files around the codebase), perhaps leading to its slowness. stympy/faker is ruby and its random values are in yaml files, with some fields defined as ruby functions (those are not supported by plait.py). can use 'plait -l' and 'plait -ll name' and 'plait -ll name.name' (more info in the README) to get a list of fake fields available.
- Dowwie 9y agoif/when you tire with the latest performance improvement, consider porting to Rust and adapting it to python via cffi
