A month ago I had an incident in production that was caused, as I found out later, by poor performance of used JSON parser library. I’ve optimalized the code and managed to solve it but decided to look for another library with better performance characteristics. I searched for some existing benchmarks and found two of them – one is for JSON manipulation on Android and the second one is thorough serialization test focused on different use-cases than I had. So I decided to write my own microbenchmark copying the use-case I had in the production.
There are many differencies among JSON libraries regarding their features and resulting performance. So if you want to know my findings continue reading …
