#3I would like to see gzip compression added to the benchmark
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mortie/jcof/main/tests/corpus/meteorites.json | gzip -9 | wc
Gives me 34569
JSON: 244920 bytes
JCOF: 87028 bytes
GZIP: 34569 bytesRe: JCOF: JSON-like Compact Object Format
#4Serialization formats that dedupe and perform other fancy processing trade increased CPU time for decreased memory usage. People who care about CPU time will want to measure the CPU time hit as well as the memory savings.
This format is also not interoperable without a decoding library, which kind of invalidates the comparison to JSON. If you're going to do this, why not just go full binary and save even more memory?

#5I would like to see gzip compression added to the benchmark
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mortie/jcof/main/tests/corpus/meteorites.json | gzip -9 | wc Gives me 34569 So the comparison is: JSON: 244920 bytes JCOF: 87028 bytes GZIP: 34569 bytes
To be fair you would gzip the JCOF encoding in this example too.
Author mentions gzip doesn’t work for some use cases. For use case mentioned I’d expect sqlite to be similar, at least that is the default thing I’d reach for.
If for some reason sqlite wasn’t sufficient probably a custom binary encoding controlled and updated via code instead of config would be next.

Glad I'm not the only one who reads it that way.

#8Thing about JSON is the ease of reading and writing it, regardless the size of the document. Compression deals with the rest.

#10Neither fully human-editable nor really compact, but an interesting experiment nonetheless.
