<div class="gmail_extra">There are two very popular JSON
parsers in Erlang: jsx and jiffy.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">jsx is written in plain Erlang.
It is fast, correct and since it is written in Erlang,
it will also automatically yield for other processes in
the system.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">jiffy is written as a C NIF. It
is about 10 times faster than jsx, but the caveat is
everything that has to do with C NIFs: blocking a
scheduler, C code having errors, security
considerations, etc.<br>

<div class="gmail_extra">I tend to run with `jsx` in my
projects, and then I switch away from JSON when it gets
to slow. JSON is a bad format that should never have
existed in the first place. We are stuck with it because
it's historic alternative, XML, was far worse in every
