Since the JSON spec is set in stone, the changes will mostly be about API (indentation, object conversion, etc) and optimization. I presume the core parsing logic won't be changing much.
Actually the core parsing logic is very different (and MUCH faster),
Are you talking about the Python logic or the C logic?
Both, actually. IIRC simplejson in pure python typically beats json with it's C extension.
Really? It would be nice to see some concrete benchmarks against both repo tips.
Maybe in a few weeks or months when I have time to finish up the benchmarks that I was working on... but it should be pretty easy for anyone to show that the version in CPython is very slow (and uses a lot more memory) in comparison to simplejson. -bob
