I’m looking for an benchmark for different serialization APIs. All I found are outdated Posts and Articles from a year and more before. So I’m hoping that anyone could share a link to an up to date benchmark?
PLEASE: I’m aware of the implementations you can find in the web. I don’t want a recommendation for your preferred API. And I don’t need a “I think it’s fast”. What I’m searching for is just an actual comparison of the performance in measured values.
Here is a one benchmark.

In this article I discuss the importance of re-cycling objects to improve serialisation times.

IMHO: JSon is one of the most difficult formats to deserialise efficiently, even harder than XML.
