| # JSON5 Benchmarking data |
| |
| This directory contains a simple command line program that compares the |
| speed of JSON5 with the builtin JSON decoder. |
| |
| On a 2018 Mac Mini with a 3 GHz 6 Core Intel Core i5 and 64 GB of memory |
| running MacOS 14.2.1, JSON5 is from 800-1200x slower than JSON. |
| |
| The three datasets come from MIT-licensed data grabbed off the web on |
| Mar 3, 2024 around 21:30 GMT. Their accompanying licenses are contained |
| in the [LICENSE](../LICENSE) file. |

| [64KB-min.json](64KB-min.json) was retrieved from |

| It looks like that is part of a set of sample data used to benchmark |
| Microsoft Edge's JSON viewer, and I'm guessing that the data was |
| synthetically generated. |
| |
| [bitly-usa-gov.json](bitly-usa-gov.json) was retrieved from |
| <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wesm/pydata-book/b992071876bb4324b0323170061c886760289d4d/datasets/bitly_usagov/example.txt>. |
| and is a data set that was part of the sample data for *Python Data Analysis, |
| 3rd Edition*. Apparently this data came from bit.ly data for USA.gov, although |
| I have been unable to find either the original source data or a description |
| of the schema for it. The book only references the 'tz' field, which appears |
| to be a timezone, the 'a' field, which loooks like a web browser User-Agent |
| string. The data was originally a file of newline-separated JSON records, |
| but I merged them into a single array. |
| |
| [twitter.json](twitter.json) was retrieved from |
| <https://raw.githubusercontent.com/miloyip/nativejson-benchmark/5dbf5a933a850652bf059cde64cc1f0c8d2c5d6f/data/twitter.json>. |
| It comes from what appears to be a a repo used for benchmarking for various |
| Native C/C++ JSON parsers. I do not know where this file was retrieved from |
| or what the schema is, but this file has a more complicated schema and contains |
| data in multiple languages. |
