Optimized `fmt::Display` for `Value` enum to avoid intermediate string allocations (`String::from`, `format!()`) and redundant `.clone()` calls. The implementation now writes directly to `std::fmt::Formatter`. Co-authored-by: ashyanSpada <22587148+ashyanSpada@users.noreply.github.com>

Code Review
This pull request optimizes the fmt::Display implementation for the Value enum by writing directly to the formatter and removing redundant clones, and introduces a benchmark for value display. The review feedback suggests refining the output of lists and maps by omitting trailing separators for the final elements to improve readability.

The current implementation adds a trailing comma for every element in the list, resulting in output like [1,2,3,]. While this preserves the previous behavior, it is generally considered better practice to omit the trailing separator for the last element to improve readability.
| for value in values { | |
| s.push_str(format!("{},", value.clone()).as_str()); | |
| write!(f, "{},", value)?; | |
| } | |
| for (i, value) in values.iter().enumerate() { | |
| if i > 0 { | |
| write!(f, ",")?; | |
| } | |
| write!(f, "{}", value)?; | |
| } |
| for (k, v) in m { | ||
| s.push_str(format!("key: {},", k.clone()).as_str()); | ||
| s.push_str(format!("value: {}; ", v.clone()).as_str()); | ||
| write!(f, "key: {},value: {}; ", k, v)?; | ||
| } |

The current implementation adds a trailing semicolon and space for every entry in the map, resulting in output like {key: k,value: v; key: k2,value: v2; }. It is generally preferred to omit the trailing separator for the last entry to improve the clarity of the output.
for (i, (k, v)) in m.iter().enumerate() {
if i > 0 {
write!(f, "; ")?;
}

Pull request overview
Optimizes the fmt::Display implementation for the Value enum to reduce heap allocations when formatting composite values, and adds a Criterion micro-benchmark to measure formatting performance.
Changes:
- Refactors
Value’sDisplayimplementation to write directly intofmt::Formatter(removing intermediateStringbuilding and redundant clones). - Adds a new Criterion benchmark for
Valueformatting performance (benches/display_value.rs).

This Criterion benchmark target likely won't compile/run under cargo bench unless it is registered in Cargo.toml with harness = false. Without an explicit [[bench]] entry, Cargo uses the default benchmark harness, which conflicts with criterion_main! generating its own main (typically causing a duplicate/unknown main harness error). Add a [[bench]] name = "display_value" entry with harness = false so the new benchmark works consistently.
💡 What: Optimized the
std::fmt::Displayimplementation for theValueenum insrc/value.rsby writing directly tostd::fmt::Formatter.🎯 Why: The previous implementation was creating intermediate strings using
String::from("["), repeatedly callingformat!()inside loops forListandMaptypes, and making redundant.clone()calls. This resulted in O(N) heap allocations for formatting composite data structures, which is an unnecessary overhead during logging, debugging, or displaying results.📊 Impact: Reduces heap allocations when printing/formatting
Valueobjects, improving the efficiency of thefmt::Displayimplementation. The optimization was cleanly done in < 50 lines.🔬 Measurement: Verified the optimization by creating a micro-benchmark using Criterion in
benches/display_value.rs. Ran the benchmark locally before and after the change (cargo bench). Tests and format checks (cargo fmt,cargo test) were also passed successfully to verify the output wasn't impacted.PR created automatically by Jules for task 16581379178332284800 started by @ashyanSpada
