    Great video. Thanks for introducing me to Deku.
    I think there is a lot of information left out here. I'm gonna outline my opinions below even if they don't matter:
    1. JSON is not for computers it's for humans. Trouble shooting binary requests isn't easy.
    2. GZIP compression can greatly reduce the bytes over the wire. JSON with lots of repeating keys can greatly benefit from gzip.
    3. A lot of the time the database is your actual bottleneck and serialization doesn't matter for performance. In fact, 1,600 requests per second is more than most companies/services will ever see.
    4. Having the document define the schema allows for flexible data. You can't just send arbitrary data with a binary protocol. This has pros/cons.
    For a public facing web service that only receives a couple thousand requests per second I would pick JSON over any other structured binary protocol almost every time. Yes there is a cost to simplicity but there is also a cost to complexity. Make it easy for internal (engineers) and external (users) to troubleshoot. Just use JSON unless you have identified that serialization is the bottleneck in your endpoint.... For most endpoints/services, I would wager serialization is not the bottleneck.

      things like scientific applications involving high density of data collected in small amount of time(rocket controls, explotions tests..), and things that are inherintly binary(vnc), JSON is not a good choice
      anything involving man, it's good to use JSON

    Binary formats are difficult to maintain and scale at certain points, as ThePrimeagen notes, it's also not easy to version; you'll have to change your parser to read data correctly, or know where to take up unused space to give room for future improvements without breaking the protocol.
    But it's really good for real-time systems that need to deliver a lot of data in a small amount of time. For example game servers where feedback should be fast and responsive both on the client and across other clients with different network conditions at 60fps, while also dealing with other systems like rendering.

      There is actually a successor to GRPC & Protobuf called Cap’n Proto.
      Afaik it's made by the same person but they are no longer working for Google. It's faster because Cap'n Protos RPC can "travel back in time" (send a rpc using the output of a another call before the call has even finished) and it does direct in-memory modification rather than adding extra encoding & decoding steps.
      You of course keep the benefit of having a separate protocol definition that can be used across multiple languages.

    I interned at an insurance company where the way they received new insurance data was through a single string that was about 5000 characters long and parsed it by slicing that string at intervals and it almost always caused issues with encoding because it used ascii encoding and all the responses were in utf-8 so it had a billion safeguards that would always break when someone entered a non ascii character.
    I'd say it doesnt get more blazingly fast than this but its written in the most cursed and blazingly slow C# code ive ever seen in my limited experience. Best part is they moved to c# from java like 7 years ago but just kept this system instead of rewriting it to use xml or "jizzle"

    I think JSONs fall into the same pitfalls as document storage DBs. They are so easy to understand and implement, yet so goddamn hard to let go off even after you learn about better and BLAZINGLY FAST-er alternatives (like good ol' postgres or protobufs in this case). This requires a change in mentality more than anything. I suppose old habits die hard.

    As someone who tried writing this kind of stuff back before JSON and even before XML, the reason we went with this stuff was for debugging purposes. At the time it was so nice to just watch the stuff on the wire, and be able to have it be human readable. However, I would argue this was mostly because there was not a de-facto binary protocol well understood by common tooling. I think it's entirely possible for us to have a nice binary encoding that our tooling (things like wireshark, Charles proxy, Chrome dev tools) could read and understand without it being fat and bloated like JSON.

    I think another benefit of JSON (though it may not be as relevant in this example as in, say, a web application) over any binary format is that it is immediately readable to any user. I can't count the number of scripts or alternative clients I've been able to write just by inspecting the JSON data a website sends. A universal, plain-text format like JSON frees the potential of how software is used from just the developer and places some choice in the hands of the user as well.
    Another thing, I've found that I really like the TSV (tab-separated values) format for storing any tabular data. It's so simple, effortless to parse, and much more compact compared to JSON or even CSV (the schema is usually just the first line, or can even be omitted). I'm not sure how it would work as a data transfer format, and though I don't see it commonly used, I doubt there would be any significant problems.

    There's a Handmade Seattle talk from 2021 called "context is everything" that shows you can get huge speedups if you can tighten your schema, and if you have full control over your tools that do the parsing (down to using native code).
    JSON imposes a tax in comparison to raw bytes, but you can still get big gains if you can tighten down your schema.
    Thinking JSON/not JSON in black and white will cost you orders of magnitude. You should consider if you actually need the flexibility of wide-open generic constrains on either the parsing or the generation side.

      The particular example you gave is just wrong. Dev tools could've just as easily transparently converted to/from an efficient binary format.

Plus, if readability was a concern a subset of YAML (which is less complicated to parse) is much more readable than JSON. How is an unparsed, unindented JSON readable anyway? And if you have to do parse JSON to display in a "human readable" format anyway, why not use a binary format, or a subset YAML?

      @@FunOrange42 Yes, and your answer is the correct one. JSON is not used because it is "human friendly". It is used because the tooling required for it was already there. Javascript always understood JSON. And that is all it took for it become popular

      @@gnikdroy by “subset of YAML”, I assume you mean basically just the keys + values?
      Because ‘less complicated to parse’ is absolutely not true for full YAML vs JSON… if you look at the spec alone, this is quite clear (YAML spec is even longer than XML…, and ~10x longer than JSON). Because of this complexity, also different YAML parsers may sometimes give entirely different interpretations & parsings for the same YAML string.
      And I would argue that even the subset of the most basic functionality of YAML is still more complex to parse than JSON, since tracking indentation to denote “Start object”/‘End object” is already more complex than simple delimiter characters… and inevitably someone will use a tab when someone else used spaces. And someone may use 3 spaces to indent while another uses 4. And so on. It’s very easy to create broken YAML while also hard to verify because it’s very easy to create YAML which is semantically broken but syntactically correct. YAML can’t detect that you meant for a line to have different indentation, while JSON can detect very easily that you didn’t add a “}"
      Unindented JSON may be unreadable, but unindented YAML is semantically broken. Unindented + single-line JSON may be EXTREMELY unreadable, but unindented + single-line YAML is syntactically broken

    This is very good and entertaining content, keep up the good work ( i'm still not gonna watch the VIM videos btw )

    "This data transfer specification is slower than writing non-interchangeable data structures in my preferred language" yeah of course, and also of course it's less space-efficient (and slower to parse) than all the various binary formats (but see also gz). JSON is human-readable, available in every language, and good enough for most use-cases (except at FAANG scale); no one ever accused JSON parsers of being particularly speedy, but also most systems don't have JSON parsing as a bottleneck. I ran into this at a previous company, they wanted to switch to protobuf or something similar to save some bytes, and I had to call out that they had some terrible queries in common paths that took over 5 seconds to complete, and needed to focus on real problems. And about the last quip: if we got rid of JSON today, some idiot with a popular blog would say it's time for XML to make a comeback, and then we'd really be in deep shit.

      looking at the comments: seems most people consume messages without checking what they are ingesting (some even say that is the safe way), never heard of network endianness, didn't realize a few bits in the beginning of the frame can specify version, size and any other desirable property, don't know what rpc is, think computers should communicate in human, and the list goes on... so I think you are right.

      ​@@andersoncunha7079 Who cares? 99% of devs are probably working stuff like web dev. Yeah we want the router and the actual webserver itself to be internally optimized to the femtosecond. But the website? Bro people are loading sites on their phones. If it takes a couple seconds, who cares? What matters is if it's maintainable. JSON is maintainable. And before you say "but you can break it with version updates" yeah and it just causes an image not to show on a website. It doesn't crash an airplane into the ground. Different applications bro.
