#History 2015/9/4 - Added Class Object Mapping Test and Changed Test Mode to AverageTime from Throughput
Boon comes with a fast JSON parser. This parser was forked / merged into Groovy 2.3. The Boon and Groovy 2.3 JSON parsers are a lot faster than mainstream JSON parsers.####
"Rick / Andrey duo spent a fair amount of time optimizing our JSON support, making Groovy 2.3’s JSON support usually faster than all the JSON libraries available in the Java ecosystem." -- Guillaume Laforge
"Rick Hightower recently published a JSON JVM libraries benchmark where his project Boon was the clear winner...Results seem quite consistent and Boon is indeed faster than GSON, Jackson"
--Julien Ponge. (world reknown computer scientist, hipster killer, author of Golo, JVM expert, InvokeDynamic expert, and just a all-around knowledgeable guy.)
#JSON Benchmarks
We used JMH which is what OpenJDK uses. We used the json files from json.org for parsing.
#Environment
OSX MacBook Pro, JDK 1.7, 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD drive.
Jackson is consistently faster than GSON and JSONSmart.
Boon JSON parser is faster than Jackson with Reader, reading files, byte[], and char[] and String.
Boon is 3x to 5x faster than Jackson at parsing JSON from String and char[], and 2x to 4x faster at parsing byte[].
Boon and Jackson speeds are much closer with InputStream based parsing. Boon is usually faster at InputStream, but the margins are much smaller.
Boon and Jackson are close at handling InputStream if the JSON stream is small. Once the JSON stream gets over 1KB to 2KB, Boon wins consistently.
Boon is faster at encoding JSON strings, and serializing/de-serializing Java instances to/from JSON than Jackson.
##Why don't you test GSON and JSONSmart?
Jackson is faster than GSON and JSONSmart. We have tests for all four. I only included the tests for Jackson because Jackson is faster than the other two. Anyone can download the benchmark and run all of the tests.
##Why don't you test Jackson AST?
I do. I see no real difference between readTree and readValue. I left out AST because it is redundant. The tests are still there and easy to run. I find AST +/- 10% of non AST.
##Who wrote the benchmarks?
They first version was written by Stephane Landelle of Gatling fame. Later they were added to by Andrey Bloschetsov for Groovy serialization. I added new tests as well.
##Relationship to Groovy JSON parser for 2.3?
Andrey Bloschetsov and I, with the help of the Groovy lead developers, took the Boon classes and forked them into Groovy 2.3.
We did this mainly for parsing, but we also improved the JSON serialization speed.
Boon and Groovy parsing are unsurprisingly very comparable.
Groovy JSON parsing is a bit faster in a few use cases, and Boon parser is a bit faster in a few uses cases, but mostly they are neck in neck.
Boon JSON de-serialization (from JSON into instances of Classes) is still quite a bit faster than Groovy. This will change in Groovy 2.4 or 2.5.
The new Groovy JSON parser based on Boon is 20x faster than the Groovy 2.2 parser.
#Are the benchmarks flawed and do they allow JIT dead code elimination?
The benchmark uses JMH. JMH is what the OpenJDK uses for benchmarking. JMH endeavors to eliminate JIT dead code elimination.
@GenerateMicroBenchmark
@OutputTimeUnit( TimeUnit.SECONDS)
public void actionLabel(BlackHole bh) throws Exception {
bh.consume(parse(STR_ACTION_LABEL_BYTES));
}
Every method is passed through to a BlackHole.
...
/**

* <p/>
* Black hole "consumes" the values, conceiving no information to JIT whether the
* value is actually used afterwards. This can save from the dead-code elimination
* of the computations resulting in the given values.

/**

*/
public final void consume(Object obj) {
int tlr = (this.tlr = (this.tlr * 1664525 + 1013904223));
if ((tlr & tlrMask) == 0) {
// SHOULD ALMOST NEVER HAPPEN IN MEASUREMENT
this.obj1 = obj;
this.tlrMask = (this.tlrMask << 1) + 1;
}

public class MainBoonBenchmark {
private final JsonParser parser = new JsonParserFactory ().create ();

return parser.parse ( str );

@GenerateMicroBenchmark

...I think it is very unlikely that the benchmarks I used are "flawed benchmark with tons of potential dead code elimination."
Maybe earlier benchmarks, but not the JMH based ones. But then again. I am always learning something new so teach me.
#JSON
Most JSON samples are taken from json.org sample files. The idea was to be fair.
#InputStream Parsing
Run JMH as follows:
java -jar target/microbenchmarks.jar ... -wi 2 -i 3 -f 2 -t 16
Two warm-ups. Two forks. 16 threads. Three iterations. Jackson and Boon are completely warmed up after the first iteration. Running it longer does not help.
(Later we add more warm-ups.)

#Caveat Boon JSON parser is a parser optimized for REST and websocket style services.
Boon JSON parser is optimized to work in a reactive style environment like Akka, Vert.x, etc. Boon JSON parser would work well with MessageDrivenBeans (EJB or Spring).
For some use cases it runs stateless faster than Jackson runs with shared buffers.
Jackson can handle very large JSON files and very large JSON streams. This support was added to Boon JSON as part of the fork/port to Groovy JSON. With larger files the speeds are much more equivalent, and in fact Jackson might be 10% faster or so.
Benchmark first.
It would take some extra effort to get superior results in a Servlet environment (it can be done).
Jackson is mature and solid. Don't assume ripping out Boon for Jackson will buy you anything. Jackson has tooling that makes it work really well in a Java EE environment, and is more fool proof.
#File system read
Both Boon and Jackson have the ability to read straight from the file system. It seems Jackson needed more warm-ups so I added them. I don't think non-warmed up code proves anything. Both Jackson and Boon were all warmed-up after three warm-ups.

Beyond this is just boiler plate Boon advertising. :)

If you are new to boon start here:
- Java Boon Byte Buffer Builder
- Java Boon Slice Notation
- Java Boon Slice's work with TreeSets
- Java Boon Description
- More...
- Boon Home
- Boon Source
- Introducing Boon October 2013
- Java Slice Notation
- What if Java collections were easy to search and sort?
- Boon HTTP utils
- Boon Java JSON parser Benchmarks or hell yeah JSON parsing is damn fast!
- Boon JSON parser is really damn fast! Part II
- Boon JSON parser Round III now just not fast as but much faster than other Java JSON parsers
- Boon World's fastest Java JSON parser Round IV from fast to blazing to rocket fuel aka Braggers going to brag
- Boon gets adopted by JSON Path as the default Java JSON parser
- Boon graphics showing just how fast Boon JSON parsing is - about 50% to 200% faster than the graphs shown here now so wicked fast became wickeder - just got sick of making graphics
- 10 minute guide to Boon JSON parsing after I added @JsonIgnore, @JsonProperty, @JsonView, @Exposes, etc.
- Hightower speaks to the master of Java JSON parsing, the king of speed The COW TOWN CODER!
- Boon provides easy Java objects from lists, from maps and from JSON.
Easily read in files into lines or a giant string with one method call. Works with files, URLs, class-path, etc. Boon IO support will surprise you how easy it is. Boon has Slice notation for dealing with Strings, Lists, primitive arrays, Tree Maps, etc. If you are from Groovy land, Ruby land, Python land, or whatever land, and you have to use Java then Boon might give you some relief from API bloat. If you are like me, and you like to use Java, then Boon is for you too. Boon lets Java be Java, but adds the missing productive APIs from Python, Ruby, and Groovy. Boon may not be Ruby or Groovy, but its a real Boon to Java development.
Core Boon will never have any dependencies. It will always be able to run as a single jar. This is not just NIH, but it is partly. My view of what Java needs is more inline with what Python, Ruby and Groovy provide. Boon is an addition on top of the JVM to make up the difference between the harder to use APIs that come with Java and the types of utilities that are built into Ruby, Python, PHP, Groovy etc. Boon is a Java centric view of those libs. The vision of Boon and the current implementation is really far apart.
