Yes, it does. Thanks!

With both tools you have to parse the entire JSON string and it is stored
internally in memory (each tool has its own method for doing so) for you to
then extract items of information. So the numbers below are simply for
doing that, and do not include any time that may be taken in retrieving
nodes or walking through the tree etc. That sort of thing is done after
the parsing has complete. Each tool also has its own doco and samples to
look at.

Does that help?

Kevin

Kevin,

I'd be curious what these times mean. Are you extracting data or is it
simply a process that parses the JSON and puts in into memory? I only ask
because parsing can be different than parsing and retrieving many objects.

A practical example I'd be interested in (as far as speed goes between the
two) is how long it takes to extract a few elements from the sample JSON.

The sample JSON provided is a large array of objects. I'd like too see
times (and maybe sample code) to parse out and retrieve for each JSON array
element:

- each "guid" object
- each "favoriteFruit" object
- the 3rd "tag" for each object
- the 2nd "friends name" for each object.

The reason is a while back I had to write my own JSON parsing routine. At
first is was just a ham-fisted brute force method. :)

Now I'm almost done with an update that makes it exponentially faster
simply because I'm caching object nodes in memory once they're "found" (for
example, running the above example on my little 515 resulted in times 8
times faster after adding the node caching).

I thought about going through the entire JSON file first and storing the
location of each node as well (instead of only storing it when it's
requested and found), but I'm having a hard time convincing myself that's a
good idea since we won't always want to go through the entire JSON file or
need each node's data. But, it's on my "to do" list for improving my
personal JSON parser, or at least for experimentation.

Yes I am using milliseconds and yes it did take over 16 seconds -
which is why I need to confirm it didn't barf internally rather than
actually successfully complete the parsing process. It could be that
