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

在最新版本中，Json在加载和转储两种情况下都比simplejson快

测试版本:

python: 3.6.8 json: 2.0.9 simplejson: 3.16.0

结果:

>>> def test(obj, call, data, times):
...   s = datetime.now()
...   print("calling: ", call, " in ", obj, " ", times, " times") 
...   for _ in range(times):
...     r = getattr(obj, call)(data)
...   e = datetime.now()
...   print("total time: ", str(e-s))
...   return r

>>> test(json, "dumps", data, 10000)
calling:  dumps  in  <module 'json' from 'C:\\Users\\jophine.antony\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36-32\\lib\\json\\__init__.py'>   10000  times

>>> test(simplejson, "dumps", data, 10000)

calling:  loads  in  <module 'simplejson' from 'C:\\Users\\jophine.antony\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python36-32\\lib\\site-packages\\simplejson\\__init__.py'>   1000  times

版本:

python: 3.7.4 json: 2.0.9 simplejson: 3.17.0

Json在转储操作中比simplejson快，但在加载操作中两者保持相同的速度

我发现Python 2.7与simplejson 3.3.1的API不兼容在于输出是生成str对象还是unicode对象。 如。

>>> from json import JSONDecoder
>>> jd = JSONDecoder()
>>> jd.decode("""{ "a":"b" }""")
{u'a': u'b'}

vs

>>> from simplejson import JSONDecoder
>>> jd = JSONDecoder()
>>> jd.decode("""{ "a":"b" }""")
{'a': 'b'}

如果首选使用simplejson，则可以通过将参数字符串强制转换为unicode来解决，如下所示:

>>> from simplejson import JSONDecoder
>>> jd = JSONDecoder()
>>> jd.decode(unicode("""{ "a":"b" }""", "utf-8"))
{u'a': u'b'}

强制转换确实需要知道原始字符集，例如:

>>> jd.decode(unicode("""{ "a": "ξηθννββωφρες" }"""))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xce in position 8: ordinal not in range(128)

这是第40个问题

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。

在python3中，如果你有一个b'bytes'的字符串，使用json你必须在加载它之前解码()内容。Simplejson会处理这个问题，所以你可以只做Simplejson .loads(byte_string)。

内置json模块被包含在Python 2.6中。任何支持Python < 2.6版本的项目都需要有一个备份。在很多情况下，这种退路很简单。
