Clojure library for fast JSON encoding and decoding.

Faster than data.json or Cheshire while still having the necessary features for web development. Designed for use with Muuntaja.

Blogged:

Latest version

Clojars Project

Requires Java1.8+

Quickstart

(require '[jsonista.core :as j])

(j/write-value-as-string {"hello" 1})
;; => "{\"hello\":1}"

(j/read-value *1)
;; => {"hello" 1}

Examples

Using explicit ObjectMapper:

(-> {:dog {:name "Teppo"}}
    (j/write-value-as-bytes j/default-object-mapper)
    (j/read-value j/default-object-mapper))
;; => {"dog" {"name" "Teppo"}}

Using keyword keys:

(-> {:dog {:name "Teppo"}}
    (j/write-value-as-bytes j/keyword-keys-object-mapper)
    (j/read-value j/keyword-keys-object-mapper))
;; => {:dog {:name "Teppo"}}

Changing how map keys are encoded & decoded:

(defn reverse-string [s] (apply str (reverse s)))

(def mapper
  (j/object-mapper
    {:encode-key-fn (comp reverse-string name)
     :decode-key-fn (comp keyword reverse-string)}))

(-> {:kikka "kukka"}
    (doto prn)
    (j/write-value-as-string mapper)
    (doto prn)
    (j/read-value mapper)
    (prn))
; {:kikka "kukka"}
; "{\"akkik\":\"kukka\"}"
; {:kikka "kukka"}

Reading & writing directly into a file:

(def file (java.io.File. "hello.json"))

(j/write-value file {"hello" "world"})

(slurp file)
;; => "{\"hello\":\"world\"}"

(j/read-value file)
;; => {"hello" "world"}

Adding support for joda-time Classes, used by clj-time.

;; [com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype/jackson-datatype-joda "2.9.5"]
(import '[com.fasterxml.jackson.datatype.joda JodaModule])
(import '[org.joda.time LocalDate])

(def mapper
  (j/object-mapper
    {:modules [(JodaModule.)]}))

(j/write-value-as-string (LocalDate. 0) mapper)
; "\"1970-01-01\""

Tagged JSON

Adding support for lossless encoding data using tagged values. This includes both reading and writing support.

(def mapper
  (j/object-mapper
    {:encode-key-fn true
     :decode-key-fn true
     :modules [(jt/module
                 {:handlers {Keyword {:tag "!kw"
                                      :encode jt/encode-keyword
                                      :decode keyword}
                             PersistentHashSet {:tag "!set"
                                                :encode jt/encode-collection
                                                :decode set}}})]}))

(-> {:system/status #{:status/good}}
    (j/write-value-as-string mapper)
    (doto prn)
    (j/read-value mapper))
; prints "{\"system/status\":[\"!set\",[[\"!kw\",\"status/good\"]]]}"
; => {:system/status #{:status/good}}

In simple perf tests, tagged JSON is much faster than EDN or Transit.

Performance

  • All standard encoders and decoders are written in Java
  • Protocol dispatch with read-value & write-value
  • Jackson ObjectMapper is used directly
  • Small functions to support JVM Inlining

Measured using lein-jmh, see perf-tests for details.
