ValueTask Vs Task: Optimizing Asynchronous Programming In .NET
ValueTask is a .NET structure for micro-optimizations in async programming, offering better performance than Task in specific use cases like synchronous results or high-performance scenarios.
ValueTask is a structure introduced in .NET for scenarios requiring micro-optimizations in asynchronous programming. It provides an alternative to Task with better performance for specific use cases, such as when the result of an asynchronous operation is already available or can be synchronously produced. Key Characteristics: ValueTask can be used for both asynchronous and synchronous results, while Task is inherently asynchronous. Unlike Task, which always allocates a heap object, ***ValueTask* **avoids allocation when the result is immediately available. It’s particularly useful in high-pe...
