R2pipe
r2pipe
The r2pipe APIs are based on a single r2 primitive found behind r_core_cmd_str()
which is a function that accepts a string parameter describing the r2 command to
run and returns a string with the result.
The decision behind this design comes from a series of benchmarks with different libffi implementations and resulted that using the native API is more complex and slower than just using raw command strings and parsing the output.
As long as the output can be tricky to parse, it's recommended to use the JSON output and deserializing them into native language objects which results much more handy than handling and maintaining internal data structures and pointers.
