It&#x27;s the whole FAST&#x2F;FIX clusterfuck all over again. Use a binary format and stop cocking around. You can&#x27;t serialise&#x2F;deserialise it faster and JSON is a string based mess. No low latency path can absorb it. Even influxdb have removed JSON support because it was their slowest part of their critical path that could not be optimised. Complete lack of mechanical sympathy + laziness is why JSON is popular outside of the web world
