I have read that std.json is pretty slow compared to other

benchmarks to indicate what "slow" means compared to other
languages - particularly java, ruby, python?
I want to know whether to roll up the sleeves and write my own
json parser focused on performance or if slow just means a few
ms slower - which I could live with.
I don't know much about json parsers so I can't say if it is a
good one but it was subject to many discussions lately:

great thanks. Hmm when I ran the test json I got a 212MB json
file which the tests used. So although the std.json takes around
10 seconds to parse this - I can probably live with that and
spend my energy getting on with my project. Of course it would
have been nice to see the performance of std.json closer to that
of rust and go instead of closer to ruby.
