simdutf

brew install simdutf v9.0.0 Apache-2.0 OR MIT

C++ library for fast Unicode validation and conversion using SIMD instructions.

Why you might care

Achieves gigabyte-per-second Unicode transcoding through vectorized operations, making it ideal for high-throughput text processing in language runtimes and browsers. Used by Node.js, Bun, and Chromium, it's faster than standard library implementations and useful as a build dependency for projects handling large text volumes.
