Show HN: JSONPath Benchmark in Java (SJF4J vs. Jayway)
I ran a JMH benchmark comparing JSONPath performance in Java.
Libraries: - SJF4J - Jayway JsonPath
Workloads: - query on JsonNode - query on Map/List object graphs
Main result: - ~2x faster on typical queries - up to 7x faster on Map/List
One interesting takeaway is that performance differs a lot depending on whether you run on JsonNode vs native object graphs.
