Performance Challenges In JSON

In this article, we will discuss the performance challenges in JSON.

Parsing JSON

Parsing the JSON data by an application adds the performance overhead especially when the JSON is deeply nested.

Serialization And Deserialization

In JSON, serialization (converting objects into the string) and deserialization (converting string to an object) is done when data is sent from client to server.

The process of serialization and deserialization adds overhead.

String Manipulation

JSON is a text-based format. So, the JSON depends upon the string manipulation for operations like concatenation and parsing. The string handling is slower as compared to working with binary data.

Lack Of Data Type

The JSON format has a limited set of data types as compared to the other data formats.

Redundancy

As JSON is a human-readable format, the redundant keys and repetitive structure cause redundancy.

No Binary Support

There is no binary support for JSON.
