> Attempted Fix: Skip the JSON Round-Trip > We integrated serde-wasm-bindgen

So you're reinventing JSON but binary? V8 JSON nowadays is highly optimized [1] and can process gigabytes per second [2], I doubt it is a bottleneck here.

No, serde-wasm-bindgen implements the serde Serializer interface by calling into JS to directly construct the JS objects on the JS heap without an intermediate serialization/deserialization. You pay the cost of one or more FFI calls for every object though.

Indeed, you're right. However, it still needs to encode and decode strings. WASM just needs native interop.
