Hi,

we're using ujson in Monasca for serialization all over the place. While 
changing it to any other alternative is probably a drop-in replacement, 
we have in the past chosen to use ujson because of better performance. 
It is of great importance, in particular in persister. Current 
alternatives include orjson [1] and rapidjson [2]. We're going to 
measure which of them works best for our use case and how much faster 
they are compared to standard library module.

Assuming there is a significant performance benefit, is there any 
preference from requirements team which one to include in global 
requirements? I haven't seen any distro packages for any of them.

[2] https://pypi.org/project/python-rapidjson/

Best greetings
Witek
