Re: [jose] Performance of Canonical JSON

A side meeting does not need any permissions from the IESG, all that is needed is to decide on a time and place and announce it to the world.  At some point the extra rooms will be opened for reservation so you can ensure that you have a room.

Do not expect the same type of turnout for a side meeting that you would get for a BOF.  I have been to side meetings with as few as five people and as many as twenty, but it is generally on the lower side. If you are going to try for a BOF, expect that the cutoff date is going to be around the first of February.  At a minimum you would need to have a good description of the problem and scope you want to cover.  You do not need to have a regular IETF goer make the request, this is open to anybody.  Instructions can be found here https://www.ietf.org/how/bofs/.

Thanks for the test data. Are you going to request a side meeting for Prague?

Since XML Canonicalization has a reputation of not only being brittle but also terribly slow, I tested JCS [1] with the following JSON file:
{
  "1": {"f": {"f": "hi","F": 5} ,"\n": 56.0},
  "10": { },
  "": "empty",
  "a": { },
  "111": [ {"e": "yes","E": "no" } ],
  "A": { }
}

Expected output: {"":"empty","1":{"\n":56,"f":{"F":5,"f":"hi"}},"10":{},"111":[{"E":"no","e":"yes"}],"A":{},"a":{}}

Since JCS only is a serialization concept (parsing is unaffected), I compared the execution speed of standard serialization versus canonicalized serialization.

Using https://www.npmjs.com/package/canonicalize the performance penalty was about 2.4 compared to JSON.stringify().
Using my homegrown JSON tools written in Java having an integrated "canonicalize" serializer option the performance penalty was about 1.4
