Using bencode over json would probably speed up the web more. Not to mention good ole ASN.1 (well, at least some binary schemes for ASN.1). The web is completely cooked when it comes to efficiency.
the biggest speedup would probably come from using proper schemas that can be efficiently parsed. but we've made our bed out of ad-hoc protocols.
JSON libraries are stupidly well optimized. There are binary encoding schemes that are faster and more compact, but its hard to beat JSON for text-based.
Everyone prepare for your minds to be blown:
And yet all that pales in comparison to using react (or whatever framework) over vanilla js. Enter McMaster-Carr.
yupyup, just send HTML over the wire. it's fine.
