Resolves#4044
- Added `use napi::{bindgen_prelude::AsyncTask, Task}` to handle async
tasks without tokio.
- Introduced `ResolveTask` struct implementing `Task` for asynchronous
parsing.
- Replaced `parse_sync` function implementation with `parse_with_return`
to reuse code.
- Refactored `parse_async` to use `AsyncTask` and `ResolveTask` for
async parsing.
- Removed tokio dependency by avoiding `tokio::spawn` and using
`AsyncTask` for async operations.
This refactor enhances code readability and removes the dependency on
tokio, streamlining the async task handling within the napi framework.
This PR merges the previous confusing features `serde` and `wasm` into a
single `serialize` feature.
We'll eventually do serialize + type information for both wasm and napi
targets.
`oxc_macros` is removed from `oxc_ast`'s dependency because it requires
`syn` and friends, which goes against our policy ["Third-party
dependencies should be
minimal."](https://oxc-project.github.io/docs/contribute/rules.html#development-policy)
Hi! I have created a proof of concept of improving using oxc in
JavaScript. The method is not polished but it provides valuable insights
for future direction!
Feel free to close~ It is for reference only :)
# Context
This is a proof of concept implementation of passing binary AST to
JavaScript. JavaScript can selectively read flexbuffers-based AST nodes
on demand to avoid the deserialization toll. More context
[here](https://dev.to/herrington_darkholme/benchmark-typescript-parsers-demystify-rust-tooling-performance-2go8).
# Changes
* Add a `parseSyncBuffer` napi method to return a binary AST from Rust
to JavaScript. The AST is in flexbuffer format.
* Add a `test_buffer.js` to test usage of flexbuffers in JavaScript. It
is in cjs format because flexbuffers does not support ESM :/
# Result
Some preliminary results, for reference only.
```
~ node test_buffer.js
testJSON: 4.043s
testBuffer: 2.395s
```
Buffer based API is 100% faster than JSON.
# Future Ideas
* Flexbuffers itself is slow. A better binary protocol is desired!
* Using binary reader to traverse AST is undesirable. A proxy-based API
to emulate object behavior will be nice.
