Faster json library? #1177
Description
I was wondering if there exists or were plans to add support for faster Python JSON libraries (e.g. orjson, rapidjson) instead of using the standard Python JSON library for serialization and deserialization. Based on benchmarks, it seems like a more performant json library could have a significant effect on throughput for JSON-encoded Kafka messages.
I tried searching the repo and past issues before posting this but wasn't able to find anything.
