Remark
We are comparing the performance of Thoth.Json with standard JSON libraries like Newtonsoft.Json and System.Text.Json.
Thoth.Json is expected to be slower than these libraries because it uses them internally.
It is also important to note that Thoth.Json solve a different problem than these libraries. It aims to provide a cross-platform API for .NET, JavaScript, Python, etc. with a focus on the developer experience and type safety.
For most of the use cases, Thoth.Json should be fast enough, not everyone needs to parse JSON at the speed of light.

This is to keep track of different blog post that I refer to sometimes when thinking or helping people.
For the tests, we use a shared project Thoth.Json.Tests that is referenced by the different runners. This is because we want each runner to only have the minimum amount of dependencies, and also if we include files from outside the .fsproj folder, then some generated files by Fable escape from the specify outDir.
