who's nobody? if developers care about performances, they obviously do. What if the json file is 500MB of logs? Furthermore, all these JSON deserialization lib tricks might work in some languages that are dynamic or support runtime reflection, it doesn't for other languages where using a proper evented parser is mandatory.
