JSON is great because it's very easy to use, is supported by most tools. But it's is not the most compact or fastest to encode/decode.
We should at least consider the pros/cons of alternative binary protocols, like protobuffer or messagepack, see e.g. https://medium.com/data-science-community-srm/json-is-incredibly-slow-heres-what-s-faster-ca35d5aaf9e8
