Optimizing Ruby's JSON, Part 7 (byroot.github.io)
In the previous post, we started covering some parser optimizations. There’s just a handful more to cover until we reached what’s the state of the currently released version of ruby/json.

Optimizing Ruby's JSON, Part 5 (byroot.github.io)
In the previous post, we showed how we eliminated two malloc/free pairs of calls when generating small JSON documents, and how that put us ahead of Oj when reusing the JSON::State object.

Optimizing Ruby's JSON, Part 4 (byroot.github.io)
In the previous post, we established that as long as ruby/json wasn’t competitive on micro-benchmarks, public perception wouldn’t change. Since what made ruby/json appear so bad on micro-benchmarks was its setup cost, we had to find ways to reduce it further.

Optimizing Ruby's JSON, Part 1 (byroot.github.io)
I was recently made maintainer of the json gem, and aside from fixing some old bugs, I focused quite a bit on its performance, so that it is now the fastest JSON parser and generator for Ruby on most benchmarks.

Nobody gets fired for picking JSON, but maybe they should? (mcyoung.xyz)
JSON is extremely popular but deeply flawed. This article discusses the details of JSON’s design, how it’s used (and misused), and how seemingly helpful “human readability” features cause headaches instead. Crucially, you rarely find JSON-based tools (except dedicated tools like jq) that can safely handle arbitrary JSON documents without a schema—common corner cases can lead to data corruption!

JSON5 – JSON for Humans (json5.org)
JSON5 is an extension to the popular JSON file format that aims to be easier to write and maintain by hand (e.g. for config files). It is not intended to be used for machine-to-machine communication. (Keep using JSON or other file formats for that. 🙂)

A new JSON data type for ClickHouse (clickhouse.com)
JSON has become the lingua franca for handling semi-structured and unstructured data in modern data systems. Whether it’s in logging and observability scenarios, real-time data streaming, mobile app storage, or machine learning pipelines, JSON’s flexible structure makes it the go-to format for capturing and transmitting data across distributed systems.

Making libjson RFC 8259 compilant (xnacly.me)
I wrote a json parser in go, because I wanted to do some language developement, write a lexer and a parser while doing a lot of performance work. So here i am, almost at the performance of encoding/json1, but I expose a different way of interacting with the json object via the xnacly/libjson package api.

Parsing Gigabytes of JSON per Second (arxiv.org)
JavaScript Object Notation or JSON is a ubiquitous data exchange format on the Web. Ingesting JSON documents can become a performance bottleneck due to the sheer volume of data. We are thus motivated to make JSON parsing as fast as possible.
