GoLang json.Unmarshal() vs. PHP json_decode()

To evaluate if Go json.Unmarshal() is faster or slower than PHP json_decode() for arbitrary JSON I decided to run a quick benchmark on my 2015 MacBook Pro (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4870HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz).

I used this ~25Mb JSON file and ran the attached two program under Go 1.22 and PHP 8.3.2, respectively.

My benchmarks were very unscientific but I was just looking for orders of magnitude.

Here are the results from three different runs, each:

Go (avg 30.82)

Examples for how a __toArray() magic method could be useful in PHP.

In a nutshell, __toArray() would not be as useful when you have full control over the entire codebase.

But where __toArray() would be extremely useful is in interfacing with existing code that expects arrays and wants those arrays to be a specific format. Using classes and type-hinted methods allow to encapsulate the intelligence into the class, and using __toArray() makes for a nature use-case.

What is the lowest power combination of server motherboard, CPU, reliable drives, ECC memory, fans and case that would make for a good powerful home router for one person with a lot of computer equipment?

ChatGPT

When choosing a motherboard, CPU, and other components for a home router, it's important to consider the level of performance and reliability you need. You should also consider the power consumption of the components, as a low-power system will be more energy-efficient and potentially save you money on your energy bills.

For a powerful home router for one person with a lot of computer equipment, you might consider using a motherboard with a low-power CPU, such as an Intel Atom or a Qualcomm processor. These CPUs are designed for low-power applications and can provide sufficient performance for routing and other basic tasks. You'll also want to choose reliable drives, such as solid-state drives (SSDs), to ensure that your router is always available.

In addition to the motherboard and CPU,
