A benchmark comparison of various JSON and binary serializers in .NET to find the fastest option.

Grab code, projects, and socials: codewithstu.tv Recently, I needed to compare the current performance of .NET serializers for a project. In this video, I compare the current state of the serializers and produce some interesting results.

What people say. Recommended as an independent benchmark comparing the performance of Bebop and other .NET serializers.

On “Bebop v3: a fast, modern replacement for Protocol Buffers”

We don’t try and compress data during serialization so the binary representation might be marginally bigger in some cases (for instance if you serialize a struct with two int32 fields, that’s 8 bytes regardless of the values), but it’s mostly extra zeros and you can run the buffer through something like zstd to get rid of those. Someone did an independent benchmark that goes into more detail here
