Hi,

I think it would, a lot of sites/apps nowadays rely a lot on JSON encoding/=
decoding, plus a lot of technologies are relying on serialization/json enco=
ding (Memcached, Redis, to name a few) at the PHP level, which can be a rea=
lly big performance eater if you use it a lot.
On the other hand, it's not too difficult to get IGBinary setup as serializ=
er instead of the default one, and it does some pretty good improvement.
Ever considered making it a part of PHP? What would be the implication (as =
I'm not too familiar with all the internals of PHP besides extensions...)?

Hi,

Completely different topic :)

I've been looking a bit into performance around json encoding, hashing+encr=
yption (aes) and serialize()/unserialize(). Data that is marshaled and ofte=
n transmitted over the wire.

I know there have been some high-end apps that have benefited from some cus=
tom serializers, etc... (typically platform dependent).
I wonder if people here think improvements in these areas would move the ne=
edle for the majority of mainstream apps or not.

Thanks,

Andi
