|
This performance comparison aims to provide a guide of relative
|
||
|
|
performance between several fast and popular JSON modules.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The examples used in this comparison were mostly sourced from the
|
||
|
|
http://json.org[JSON website] and
|
||
|
|
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4627[RFC 4627].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Performance will vary widely between platforms and data sets. These
|
||
|
|
results should only be used as an approximation.
|
||
|
|
|

Modules
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following JSON modules for Lua were tested:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://chiselapp.com/user/dhkolf/repository/dkjson/[DKJSON 2.1]::
|
||
|
|
- Lua implementation with no dependencies on other libraries
|
||
|
|
- Supports LPeg to improve decode performance
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
https://github.com/brimworks/lua-yajl[Lua YAJL 2.0]::
|
||
|
|
- C wrapper for the YAJL library
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://www.kyne.com.au/%7Emark/software/lua-cjson.php[Lua CSJON 2.0.0]::
|
||
|
|
- C implementation with no dependencies on other libraries
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Summary
|
||
|
|
-------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
All modules were built and tested as follows:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
DKJSON:: Tested with/without LPeg 10.2.
|
||
|
|
Lua YAJL:: Tested with YAJL 2.0.4.
|
||
|
|
Lua CJSON:: Tested with Libc and internal floating point conversion
|
||
|
|
routines.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following Lua implementations were used for this comparison:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- http://www.lua.org[Lua 5.1.4] (_Lua_)
|
||
|
|
- http://www.luajit.org[LuaJIT 2.0.0-beta9] (_JIT_)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These results show the number of JSON operations per second sustained by
|
||
|
|
each module. All results have been normalised against the pure Lua
|
||
|
|
DKJSON implementation.
