iOS JSON Benchmarks

This is the code I used to write my post about JSON benchmarks and my updated post.

There is basic UI for this app. Pretty charts might be cool in the future though. View the log for detailed results.

Building

You will need iOS 4.0 or greater to build the application since it uses blocks. You will also need to get the submodules with the following command:

$ git submodule update --init

Then simply open the project and build normally.

Thanks

Huge thanks to Stig Brautaset for improving benchmarking and keeping JSON Framework up to date. Thanks to Jonathan Wight for keeping TouchJSON up to date.
