Jiffy for default JSON handling? #112

Closed optikfluffel closed 10 years ago

optikfluffel commented 10 years ago

Is there a reason why jiffy isn't used by default for JSON handling?

Thanks :smile:

The reason is that Jiffy is a NIF and then is hard to upgrade. It is alos requiring to have the correct compiler installed. While JSX is pure erlang and can be used anywhere the Erlang VM works.

Hope I answered to your concerns.
