7267 :: jjson or json for Karax?

  I was just wondering if there is currently a preference for using jjson or the std ib json for karax apps? Are there any situations that might favour one over the other? I'm inclined to stick with the stdlib json but was curious what others are doing. Thanks.

  The Karax specific libraries (jjson, jstrutils, jwebsockets, jdict) are usually better for performance and code size.

  Standard library modules are mostly implemented in pure Nim (and some are wrappers for C libraries, meaning you can't import them at all). If you import the stdlib json, it's like you are reimplementing JSON in JavaScript. Same goes for tables, JS already has a Map type, it's better to wrap that than to reimplement maps.
