An interesting benchmark on Json Parsing using Newtonsoft Json Serializer
I wanted to see the difference in parsing speeds between this custom method
https://www.newtonsoft.com/json/help/html/ReadingWritingJSON.htm
And the regular
JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<>() method Result

Manual deserialization is 50.03% faster then the regular method. However  - The Manual deserialization is 196 lines of code compared to just 1.

I also tested if running the parsers in Multithreading was helpful and it wasn’t, just they synchronization between threads took longer then the whole job. So for most Jsons we experience I did not find any speed benefit in multithreading.

Deep C# - Casting the Escape from Strong Typing

This ability to accept a bigger object i.e. you can safely downcast the parameter, is often referred to as contravariance. That is the return parameter can be safely upcast to a smaller object and this in turn is refered to as covariance.
