If you want to create an issue for it (the best repo is probably the ion-docs one: https://github.com/amzn/ion-docs/issues) that will help to show us there is demand for it. Providing information on your use case helps us prioritize.

We have done some work on performance comparisons with the ion-java-benchmark-cli tool (https://github.com/amzn/ion-java-benchmark-cli). Right now you can compare JSON serialized with Jackson and there is a pull request (https://github.com/amzn/ion-java-benchmark-cli/pull/27) for comparing against CBOR that should be merged soon.

We are always happy to hear suggestions for what is useful in this area.

  A data serialization format

One problem with Ion is that it doesn't have a map type, but instead a struct type that allows duplicate keys. I created Zish https://github.com/tlocke/zish as a serialization format that addresses the shortcomings of JSON and Ion. Any comments / criticisms welcome.
