benchmarks VS circe

GitHub - kostya/benchmarks: Some benchmarks of different languages

In all the language comparisons I've found over the years, Python consistently comes out slightly slower, for example:

https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks

Bearing in mind these are probably not even using YJIT, which makes Ruby considerably faster in some scenarios.

Also, here is another benchmark: https://github.com/kostya/benchmarks

Using Circe so I define some classes that contain my custom Encoder[BusinessObject] in a file and I use that whenever I want to save/store a record, or handle a web request or respose. I also represent my mongo queries as JSON objects that I can freely build then pass to the driver.

Circe adopters should be using Scala https://github.com/circe/circe

If you look at Circe's github repo you will see a very large list of very recognizable companies, that should give you some idea. Circe isn't the ONLY Json parsing library, but it is probably the most popular, so - should give you a rough idea of the types and variety of companies using Scala.

Has the worst error messages I've ever seen for a parser. "Attempt to decode value on failed cursor" is not helpful when all you have is missing fields. Has been an issue for 5 years.

Circe tries to drop Scala 2.12 support in retaliation for not enough users paying them.

PR for the same functionality in Scala3: https://github.com/circe/circe/pull/1800

Otherwise I tend to just use ZIO-JSON or Circe both of which have been updated for Scala 3.

I've updated results of benchmarks of 12 JSON parsers for Scala: - AVSystem's scala-commons - Borer - Circe - DSL-JSON - Jackson - jsoniter-scala - Play-JSON, - play-json-jsoniter - Spray-JSON - uPickle - weePickle - zio-json
