Summary

Adds documentation for the specialized response mapping optimization to the JIT Compiler internals page.

This covers the new AOT compilation path introduced in elysiajs/elysia#1799, where the compiler detects TypeBox response schema kinds at compile time and generates specialized inline response code that bypasses the generic mapResponse dispatch chain.

What's documented

  • Why the generic mapResponse is slow (10+ type checks, megamorphic call sites)
  • How the compiler detects schema Kind and generates type-guarded fast paths
  • Code examples showing before/after generated code
  • Per-adapter differences (Bun Response.json() vs Web Standard JSON.stringify())
  • Safety guarantees (type guard fallback, conditions that disable specialization)

Placed as a new subsection under Compiler Optimizations, right after the existing mapResponse/mapCompactResponse example — it's the natural continuation of that topic.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated internal documentation with expanded explanation of response mapping optimization techniques and JIT compiler performance improvements, including code examples and platform-specific considerations.

Walkthrough

Documentation update to the JIT compiler guide adding a new section on specialized response mapping. Explains how Elysia generates optimized fast paths for routes with known response schemas, bypassing generic type checks, including code examples and platform-specific considerations.

Poem

A rabbit hops through docs so bright,
Explaining compilers that take flight,
Fast paths and guards, oh what a sight!
Response mapping done just right, 🐰✨
Knowledge shared with pure delight!

54-55: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Fix incorrect variable reference in code example.

Line 55 references req.params.id, but the handler parameter is destructured as ({ params }) on line 54, so req is undefined. This should be params.id.

📝 Proposed fix
 .patch('/user/:id', ({ params }) => {
-	return { id: req.params.id }
+	return { id: params.id }
 })

destructures its argument as ({ params }) but returns req.params.id, which is
undefined; update the return to use params.id instead so the function
(.patch('/user/:id', ({ params }) => { ... }) / the handler body) references the
destructured params variable rather than req.
