Binary protocols or JSON for creating Web games?

Question

JavaScript

Hello, dear programmers!) What is the best way to use PIXI + NODE JS to create a Web game?
(binary protocols, or JSON) I just have little knowledge of binary data.
and is it necessary to write in JSON ?

Answer 1

It is more convenient to design, document and debug on human-readable JSON. Description of JSON packages is essentially API documentation. Encoding, decoding JSON in the browser is faster.
The main advantage of binary protocols is compactness, traffic reduction. I don't think it's worth it.
I would choose JSON.

Answer 2

Create an array and write to it.

True, it makes sense only when you need to transfer a lot of data and serialization becomes a problem
