How can I improve JSON performance in Ruby?

You can improve JSON performance in Ruby by using faster libraries like Oj or Yajl, and by minimizing object allocations.

What are the benefits of using Oj over the standard JSON library?

Oj is significantly faster than the standard JSON library, especially for large datasets, and it also provides options for parsing and generating JSON.

Are there any specific use cases where I should prefer Yajl?

Yajl is great for streaming large JSON data, as it allows you to process data incrementally without loading everything into memory.

Can you give me an example of using Oj in a Ruby application?

Sure! You can use Oj like this: require 'oj'; Oj.dump(your_object) to serialize and Oj.load(your_json_string) to deserialize.
