Run Python JSON benchmarks to find the fastest module that can be used as a drop-in replacement of the `json` standard one.
Benchmarks are run from a [GitHub workflow](.github/workflows/benchmark.yml).
See the [requirements.txt](requirements.txt) file for exact modules being tested, and [which imports](bench-json.py#L9) are being used in the benchmark script.
## Results
- 🐧 [GNU/Linux](results/linux.md)
- 🍎 [macOS](results/mac.md)
- 🪟 [Windows](results/windows.md)
## Not An Option
### Incorrect Output
But they are still tested, in case their behavior changes over time.
- `orjson`
- `pysimdjson`
### Not a Drop-In Replacement
- `cysimdjson`
### No More Maintained
- `hyperjson`
- `jsonlib2`
- `libpy_simdjson`
- `metamagic.json`
- `python-cjson`
- `yajl`
