# ocaml-ppx-compare [`Ppx_compare`](https://github.com/janestreet/ppx_compare) is a ppx rewriter that derives comparison and equality functions from type representations. The scaffolded functions are usually much faster than OCaml's `Pervasives.compare` and `Pervasives.(=)`. Scaffolding functions also give more flexibility by allowing them to be overridden for a specific type, and more safety by making sure that only comparable values are compared.
