A Ruby gem providing C bindings to the YAJL library for streaming JSON parsing and encoding. It supports parsing directly from IO streams (files, sockets, compressed streams) and offers a drop-in replacement API for the standard JSON gem with significantly better performance.
Use cases
- parse large JSON files without loading them fully into memory
- stream-parse multiple JSON objects from a socket or HTTP response
- replace the Ruby JSON gem with a faster drop-in alternative
- parse gzip or bzip2 compressed JSON streams
- incrementally feed JSON chunks to a parser in an evented server
- encode Ruby objects to JSON faster than JSON.generate
When to avoid
- you only need simple, occasional JSON parsing where the stdlib JSON gem suffices
- you need a pure-Ruby solution without native C extensions
- your project no longer uses Ruby
