While writing an
ObjectId
-like class for another project (where I needed a time-based identifier, but didn't want to bring dependency on a wholeMongoDB.Bson
package just forObjectId
), I was curious about performance of my implementation compared to the reference one.My test was like serializing a million of identifiers (as strings), and then parsing them back. Here are my results:
ObjectId.ToString()
ObjectId.Parse()
So this probably looks like a valid reason to make a pull request and improve things a little :)
I'm not sure if it affects other cases where
ObjectId
is serialized, like performance of database responses' deserialization. But shouldn't hurt at least.
