Quote:RE:Dox is a high-performance, token-based structured data engine for .NET, developed as one of the core components of ‘REX’ Technology for CAPCOM’s next-generation game engine.

RE:Dox is not just a JSON serializer. It parses structured data into a compact, fixed-size token DOM / IR, then uses that structural index for reading, editing, format conversion, serialization, deserialization, and automatic parallel deserialization.

Quote:RE:Dox combines three goals that usually conflict:

• the parse speed of a tape DOM (
  Code:

  System.Text.Json.JsonDocument
  ),
  
  
• the editability of a node DOM (
  Code:

  System.Text.Json.Nodes.JsonNode
  ),
  
  
• the flexibility of
  Code:

  Newtonsoft.Json
  (position-independent
  Code:

  $type
  ,
  Code:

  $id
  /
  Code:

  $ref
  , out-of-order constructor binding).
  
  

What you get:

• High-performance serialization and deserialization — on the benchmark datasets below, up to ~1.8x faster sequential deserialization, up to ~2.8x faster automatic parallel deserialization, and up to ~1.6x faster serialization than System.Text.Json.
  
  
• Lower allocation on tested workloads — for example,
  Code:

  canada.json
  deserializes with about 2.56 MB allocated by RE:Dox versus about 8.53 MB by System.Text.Json. JSON, JSON5, CBOR, MessagePack, INI, and DOX are integrated with the core model; TOML, XML, HTML, and CSV are currently preview components.
  
  
• One converter model across formats —
  Code:

  DataConverter<T>
  targets the format-agnostic
  Code:

  DataReader
  /
  Code:

  DataWriter
  abstractions instead of a specific wire format.
  
  
• Mutable token DOM — edit objects and arrays without replacing the document with a heavyweight managed object tree.
  
  
• Trivia-preserving JSON5 editing — comments and other preserved trivia can survive document edits and re-encoding.
  
  
• Compatibility layers for System.Text.Json, Newtonsoft.Json, and DataContractJsonSerializer.
