Why I stopped using JSON in API and switched to Protobuf

The article "Better Than JSON" by Alois Deniel addresses the issues related to the use of JSON format in modern programming. The author points out that while JSON is popular, it has many limitations that can negatively affect application development and performance. For instance, JSON does not support comments, which makes documentation harder to understand for humans. Additionally, long keys can lead to an increase in file size, affecting loading times and overall efficiency. Alois suggests considering alternative formats like MessagePack or Protocol Buffers, which offer better efficiency and greater flexibility. He concludes by encouraging experimentation with new technologies and tailoring solutions to specific application needs instead of sticking to outdated standards that may no longer be the best choice.
