Apache Fory Rust – 10-20x faster serialization than JSON/Protobuf

Hacker News

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 ↔ Python/Java/Go) - Trait object serialization (Box<dyn Trait>) - Automatic circular reference handling - Schema evolution without coordination Happy to discuss design trade-offs.
