So my JSON code that was optimized for RAM use rather than speed is keeping up with simdjson's nearest competitor (Mison notwithstanding since it's still a research project)
I have only done one major optimization ultimately for speed although the way my JSON parser works, it's pretty speedy by nature.
But some of the things it does, like highly selective skipping through a document or even front loading the parser with requests can speed up simdjson. So I'm incorporating ideas from my code into simdjson's codebase as a proof of concept to (edit: i hope!) make simdjson even faster than it is now. Hacking simdjson's stage 1 processing is crazy.
It's fun. I don't know what I'm doing. That's part of the joy of it. I'm totally in above my head, and eager because I know by the time I'm done I won't be. That enormous challenge therefore, presents enormous opportunity.

If it makes it any funnier, the interaction between you two has just reminded me of both John Belushi and Tom Petty.

I used to claim that, but now I'm old and guilty as sin. I can honestly say that I enjoyed most of it. And real old programmers eat butterflies. They tickle a bit going down, but they're delicious.

I find I like being lost like this when it comes to grappling with technology I don't understand.
The thing is, is every time it happens, I throw myself into the deep end of the pool and I end up learning to swim.
It's an opportunity to level up - to have one of those epiphanies I so enjoy.
I do it for the rush.

What goes around comes around, and justice grinds slowly.
It appears I have some report generation in my future for a couple of projects. I know a limited Crystal Reports version used to ship with VS 6 (yeah, that far back). I'm curious what everyone *here* uses these days. What do you hate, what will you tolerate? I'd ask what do you love, but then, I've never heard of anyone loving a report generation tool.
I have two needs - the first is to be able to generate ad hoc reports against a couple of internal databases. People want to play with generating their own reports, so I need something relatively simple to use.
The second is more production oriented for a manufacturing system. They'll be a canned set of reports generated on an order by order basis.
Yes, I did a google search, but all I get are myriads of pages listing the top 10 report tools and direct links to the company pages.

What database are you using? If it's MS SQL then you could use the include SQL Server Reporting Services.

mysql at the moment for the simple situation. For the production one, I'd bet on MS Sequel Server but the application is database agnostic.

Just so long as you're not planning to use .NET Core or .NET 5 - there's still no sign of SSRS support for those platforms.

SSRS is the bomb for you. And from a simple report you can export to Excel so people can 'play' with the report. It works. Butttttt...... It really takes someone who understands databases and being able to setup and get it working right. This means usually a programmer/DB Analyst. Probably you.
with that said. If your end users want to do more than just 'play' with the data. If they want to create their own visuals you probably need to research PowerBI (Microsoft) or Tableau. I have worked extensively with both. I prefer Tableau. Mainly because I am more familiar with it. But they both have their good and bad points. They are both fairly expensive.
as always ymmv. But that is my .02
Enjoy.

He can generate the interface for I/O (data queries, data entry/edit/delete) and feed them to his stored procedures. All from SQL tables. It generates a table automatically from the returning record set - configurable in a feature-creep-dreamworld. It's now approaching 800 reports for the same set of php/javascript files. Even a button to convert the table returned to an excel file. Paging, for large records sets and all sorts of crap. I built into it about 40 data-base configurable HTML controls - char/numeric/VIN/drop-list (regular and parent-child that even work many-to-many), even one for javascript injection.
As he noted, I made his life very easy. We don't need not stinkin' crystal reports.
It is corporate-agnostic. It'll work for insurance claims or pizza orders. The generating their own reports is (via the input fields) by creating SQL filters on-the-fly. Also, line, bar, and pie charts - but as it turns out, no one wanted them once they became available.
Yeah - he loves it.

I've been using FastReport VCL (Delphi) forever.
I like that the reports are in XML, we were able to transform a ton of reports simply.
It has a Client Side Report Designer, if needed (We have shipped it a couple of times).
It has a server based solution as well...
And of course, there is the .NET version, which I assume you are interested in.
We have also leveraged the SCRIPTING language to get some VERY custom reports, and cause report page links to open records in our application!! Kinda cool features, IMO.
