TinyJSON Benchmarks

This directory contains benchmarking tools to compare TinyJSON against the standard library encoding/json when compiled to WebAssembly using TinyGo.

Build Script

The build.sh script compiles the WASM binaries with different JSON implementations.

Usage

# Build with TinyJSON (default)
./build.sh

# Build with encoding/json (stdlib)
./build.sh stlib

Run the benchmark server

# Start the local server to serve the compiled WASM
go run ./web/server.go

You can then open http://localhost:6060 in a browser to see the benchmark results.

Output

The compiled WASM binary is output to web/public/main.wasm.

The script will display:

• Uncompressed binary size
• Gzipped size (for realistic deployment comparison)

Example Output

Building with TinyJSON...
Compiling clients/tinyjson/main.go...
✓ Build complete: web/public/main.wasm
  Size: 94 KB
  Gzipped: 34 KB

Building with encoding/json (stdlib)...
Compiling clients/stdlib/main.go...
✓ Build complete: web/public/main.wasm
  Size: 398 KB
  Gzipped: 150 KB

Source Files

• clients/tinyjson/main.go - Implementation using TinyJSON
• clients/stdlib/main.go - Implementation using encoding/json (stdlib)

Both files implement the same functionality to ensure fair comparison.

Results

Implementation	Binary Size (WASM + Gzip)
TinyJSON	27.2 KB
encoding/json (stdlib)	119 KB

See the main README for detailed benchmark results and screenshots.
