Android JSON Parsers Comparison

https://medium.com/@IlyaEremin/android-json-parsers-comparison-2017-8b5221721e31

List of parsers to compare: gson 2.8.0, jackson 2.0.1, moshi 1.4.0, ason 1.1.0.

conclusion

jackson:
pros: fasters, triggers GC least, most customazible
cons: 6.7k methods (can be reduced by Proguard), API not so friendly

gson:
pros: fast enough, most popular (10k stars on github), pretty API, small
cons: relatively slow, trigger GC relatively more

There is no reasons for me to use moshi or ason based on this comparation: they are slower almost in each test.
