What Hacker News says?
Your comment brought up a good point, so I ran some more tests with ints. http://bouncybouncy.net/ramblings/posts/json_vs_thrift_and_p... Protocol buffers won hands down as far as space used... The speed issues are still there, but I'm sure that over time things will improve. If the C extension for simplejson can speed up serialization by an order of magnitude, I have no doubt that similar improvements can be made t…

HN discussionHere are some benchmarks of PB vs JSON vs Thrift: http://bouncybouncy.net/ramblings/posts/json_vs_thrift_and_p... I also have some benchmarks of Python deserialization of JSON, and talk about alternatives here: http://blog.metaoptimize.com/2009/03/22/fast-deserialization... I encourage you to listen to jokull, and find out if JSON really is too slow for your needs. My advisor taught me that if you keep your data in…
