不管这个比较的结果如何，如果你使用的是Python 2.6，你应该使用标准库json。和. .否则还不如直接使用simplejson。

项目使用simplejson的另一个原因是内置json最初不包括它的C加速，所以性能差异是显而易见的。

我一直在测试json, simplejson和cjson。

json是最快的 Simplejson几乎等同于cjson Json比simplejson慢10倍

我在寻找为Python 2.6安装simplejson时遇到了这个问题。我需要使用json.load()的'object_pairs_hook'，以便将json文件加载为OrderedDict。由于熟悉Python的最新版本，我没有意识到Python 2.6的json模块不包括'object_pairs_hook'，所以我不得不为此安装simplejson。从个人经验来看，这就是为什么我使用simplejson而不是标准json模块。

simplejson模块比json快1.5倍(在我的计算机上，使用simplejson 2.1.1和Python 2.7 x86)。

如果您愿意，可以尝试基准测试:http://abral.altervista.org/jsonpickle-bench.zip 在我的电脑上，simplejson比cPickle快。我也想知道你的基准!

可能，正如Coady所说，simplejson和json之间的区别在于simplejson包含_speedps .c。 那么，为什么python开发者不使用simplejson呢?
