GitHub - CAPCOM-TD-OSS/REDox: High-performance, token-based structured data engine for .NET. A core component of REX, the technology behind CAPCOM's next-generation game engine.

The same token representation acts as both a compact parsed document model and a common structural layer shared by serializers, converters, and supported formats. 2. Why should I care? RE:Dox combines three goals that usually conflict: the parse speed of a tape DOM (System.Text.Json.JsonDocument), the editability of a node DOM (System.Text.Json.Nodes.JsonNode), the flexibility of Newtonsoft.Json (position-independent $type, $id / $ref, out-of-order constructor binding). What you get: High-performance serialization and deserialization — on the benchmark datasets below, up to ~1.8x faster sequential deserialization, up to ~2.8x faster automatic parallel deserialization, and up to ~1.6x faster serialization than System.Text.Json. Lower allocation on tested workloads — for example, canada.json deserializes with about 2.56 MB allocated by RE:Dox versus about 8.53 MB by System.Text.Json. JSON, JSON5, CBOR, MessagePack, INI, and DOX are integrated with the core model; TOML, XML, HTML, and CSV are currently preview components. One converter model across formats — DataConverter<T> targets the format-agnostic DataReader / DataWriter abstractions instead of a specific wire format. Mutable token DOM — edit objects and arrays without replacing the document with a heavyweight managed object tree. Trivia-preserving JSON5 editing — comments and other preserved trivia can survive document edits and re-encoding. Compatibility layers for System.Text.Json, Newtonsoft.Json, and DataContractJsonSerializer.
