That’s what I ended up seeing in the benchmarks.

One of my side projects right now is building a web server that can get faster performance than cowboy (I know, it’s a pipe dream). Part of that was choosing the fastest JSON parser, and when I went exploring the popular libraries, I saw that in every benchmark there were wildly different results, each favoring whichever library I was looking at, so I made my own little benchmark to see which was the fastest.
