Re: Performance Comparison Between YAJLINTO and YAJL Procedures

[Brad Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

YAJL is quite fast.  I wrote my own parsing for JSON a while back (as a fun
little refresher course in tree processing and recursion) and it was in
RPG.  It was nowhere near as fast as YAJL.

Should be easy to put together a test for YAJL vs YAJLINTO.
