Performance comparison
----------------------
Here is a rough performance comparision of several JSON packages
available for Lua:
- DKJSON 1.0: One of the fastest pure Lua JSON implementations.
- LuaJSON 1.0: A mixed Lua/C JSON implementation using LPeg.
- CSJON 1.0: Pure C.
The example JSON files used were taken from http://json.org/ and
RFC 4627.

example1.json 1.0x 1.9x 3.4x 3.9x 12.3x 13.7x

rfc-example2.json 1.0x 1.4x 0.6x 1.3x 10.4x 10.9x
== Average ==> 1.0x 1.6x 0.6x 1.3x 17.0x 17.2x
CJSON spends a significant amount of time calling sprintf() to convert
doubles to strings while encoding "rfc-example1.json". Hence it only
shows a 9x improvement in this case.
The performance gains available can vary widely. If performance is
critical, I would recommend testing in a relevant environment with
your intended data.
