Jason is a fast, standards-compliant JSON parser and generator written in pure Elixir. It is the default JSON codec for many Elixir ecosystem libraries such as Ecto, Phoenix, and Postgrex.
Use cases
- encode elixir maps to
- parse strings in elixir
- fast serialization for phoenix apis
- codec for ecto and postgrex
- rfc 8259 compliant handling
When to choose
- you need a fast pure-elixir library without native NIF dependencies
- you use Phoenix, Ecto, or Postgrex and want the ecosystem default
- standards compliance and extensive test coverage matter
When to avoid
- you need maximum raw speed and are comfortable with C NIFs like jiffy
- you need non-standard extensions or custom decoding options
