Reply To: strongly recommended to improve the efficiency of deserialization

I posted about my solution here (did this back in v.2.1)

http://nodecanvas.com/forums/topic/optimizations-2/

Essentially I end up caching off the parsed JSON data.

JSONSerializer:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21

public static object Deserialize(Type type, string serializedState, fsData parsedDataIn, out fsData parsedDataOut, List<UnityEngine.Object> objectReferences = null) {      .      .      fsData data = null;      if (parsedDataIn == null)      {         data = fsJsonParser.Parse(serializedState);         parsedDataOut = data;      }      else      {         data = parsedDataIn;      }      .      .      . }

Then Deserialized calls look like this, which saves the parsed json, and also passes it in for additional calls to deserialize:

Graph.cs:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

private fsData _jsonCached; // member to hold parsed json   public bool Deserialize(string serializedGraph, bool validate, List<UnityEngine.Object> objectReferences) {    .    .    .    fsData jsonParsed;    var data = JSONSerializer.Deserialize<GraphSerializationData>(serializedGraph, _jsonCached, out jsonParsed, objectReferences);    _jsonCached = jsonParsed;    .    .    . }

There maybe a better way to do this with newer versions.
