in thread Creating Storable objects from the C

Just adding to this JSON::XS was faster than Storable in the last benchmark I saw/ran. Benchmarks can be misleading (size, data, versions) but even if it's not faster it's probably roughly as fast and if there are C libs available it would be easy to see if it worked well for you.

    In the last benchmark I ran, Storable was faster than JSON::XS, fwiw.

      Yep, in my benchmark JSON::XS was faster than Storable too. Fun, I saw this module before several times, but always stopped reading doc just after "JavaScript" words thinking that this is something useless for me.

      Update: In case somebody interested, here's the results of testing for some serializing engines. I've just got simple XML example from wikipedia, encoded it using different methods and benchmarked the parsers.

      Here's the code:
