Javascript protobuf performance

Two different modules are available for protobuf in nodejs -

  1. https://github.com/dcodeIO/ProtoBuf.js/
  2. https://github.com/google/protobuf/tree/master/js - official but less features than the other module. Specifically, doesn't have typescript integration.

Which one has better performance?

Solution

  • From the protobuf.js performance section, protobuf.js is significantly more performant than the official implementation.
