should encoder and decoder object be shared or created on demand?

[yangcheng]

It's unclear from documentation what's the best practice to use encoder and decoder.

Should I keep a global encoder ? is the object thread-safe?

Thanks

Encoder or decoder is mostly used for streaming or some specific configurations, such as decoder with UseNumber, or encoder with SortKeys. And there are no benefits to reusing an encoder or decoder. So recommended not to use a shared encoder or decoder.

good to know that, I was about to use encoder for streaming io as mentioned in https://github.com/bytedance/sonic#streaming-io , no specific configuration, just http write response. is it recommended to simplely use Marshal ?

The reason I am asking is I noticed very similar performance os sonic encoder vs json encoder in my test and I am curious if I did something wrong

yes, if not in streaming scenes or specific configuration, just use Marshal
