defaulting keys to String and using an efficient HashMap for small data could increase the performance.

Dear Sir,

Since most of the JSON keys are string for readability and best practise. It would be efficient to use Strings as keys by default like other JSON libraries. I found that it not only increases Parsing performance (PUT) but also GET operations.

Please consider defaulting keys to String and using an efficient HashMap for small data could increase the performance.

Thanks

I will consider using strings as default keys for objects. However, I will not change the type of map. The problem with the default HashMap is that it messes with the order in which key-value pairs are listed.
