# randomquote

This is a binary application that generates a random quote from a corpus of JSON

data provided herein. The application can be used along with

[Conky](https://github.com/brndnmtthws/conky) desktop

manager to dynamically generate quotes.

## Usage

```shell

$ cargo build --release

$ cp /target/release/randomquote .

$ ./randomquote

```

## Benchmarking

The benchmarking was done with [hyperfine](https://github.com/sharkdp/hyperfine)

to compare against a Python3 implementation

```shell

hyperfine --runs 100 './randomquote' 'python3 quotes.py'

```

The repository author obtained a ~7.2 times speedup against python

implementation
