Introducing Ferris.Json Nuget Package

My latest project is Ferris.Json!

It’s a C# library for json serialization and deserialization.

There are currently 3 alpha releases up on the nuget page. Play around with it if you’d like.

Motivation

In my day job, I’m a C# web developer. But I’ve always thought focusing more on lower level C# performance would be fun.

I had some free time over Christmas and thought this could be a good experiment in that direction.

Current Status

There’s no reason to use this over System.Text.Json or Newtonsoft. Right now it can handle properly formatted json, with objects and arrays.

There’s probably a lot of edge cases you can find where it doesn’t work. The project readme has a list of features yet to implement.

I’ve already gotten pretty deep into reflection and my first usages of Span.

We’ll see where this goes.
