JSON Denial of Service by Sam Halliday

Sam Halliday explains how typical JSON libraries are vulnerable to denial of service attacks and how ZIO JSON mitigates these exploits.

Scala has more JSON libraries than Go has language features! Yet, very few of these libraries can protect your application from very rudimentary exploits against your public API, and fewer still offer the blazing-fast performance required for extremely high throughput applications. In this presentation, Sam Halliday presents his work on ZIO JSON, showing you how this library's approach to serialization defends against the devastating exploits that would otherwise take your application down, all while providing best-in-class performance in a friendly, easy-to-use package.
