What does this PR do?
Replaces instances of the builtin
json
package to useujson
instead.Motivation
The builtin
json
package is pretty slow for loading/dumping data. There are faster alternatives.Testing Guidelines
Additional Notes
I evaluated several packages to determine which was best.
json
ujson
msgspec
orjson
rapidjson
simplejson
* "total mean bench" is the sum of all the mean durations of all benchmarks.
Some packages were faster/slower depending on the lambda event payload. But I ultimately went with
ujson
because it is generally one of the fastest, plus has smallest package size.Some benchmark results
Comparison of
json
andujson
when extracting trace context from an sqs batch event.Curling lambda url with capture lambda payload true.
