I see more and more articles about logging in JSON. You can also find one on NodeJS blog. Why does everyone like it so much? I can only see more operations getting involved:

  • A couple new objects being created.
  • Stringifying objects, which either involves calculating string length or multiple string allocations.
  • GCing all the crap that was created.

Is there any test on performance when using JSON logging and regular string logging? Do people use JSON (for logging) in enterprise projects?
