Show HN: Apache Fory Rust β 10-20x faster serialization than JSON/Protobuf
By
chaokunyang
Serialization framework with some interesting numbers: 10-20x faster on nested objects than json/protobuf.
Technical approach: compile-time codegen (no reflection), compact binary protocol with meta-packing, little-endian layout optimized for modern CPUs.
Unique features that other fast serializers don't have:
- Cross-language without IDL files (Rust β Python/Java/Go)
- Trait object serialization (Box)
- Automatic circular reference handling
- Schema evolution without coordination
Happy to discuss design trade-offs.
