Kind of content I like to see especially when big differences rise. Which serializer did you choose to go with? There's always the trade off between performance, features and also current state of maintenance. I have seen some project weren't updated for quite a long time.
For me, it's exactly what you said about the trade off's. I don't like to use the same thing for every job - I have a set of tools not just a hammer ;) That said, more often than not, it's either System.Text.Json / Protobuf-Net depending on whether I need json or binary. I have started to watch a couple of the lesser know repos like GroBuf though - it's got some potential there. What are your go-to serializers?
