I see more and more articles about logging in JSON. You can also find one on NodeJS blog. Why does everyone like it so much? I can only see more operations getting involved:
- A couple new objects being created.
- Stringifying objects, which either involves calculating string length or multiple string allocations.
- GCing all the crap that was created.
Is there any test on performance when using JSON logging and regular string logging? Do people use JSON (for logging) in enterprise projects?
