So, for performance reasons, I need my app to store big arrays of data in a way that's fast to parse.I know JSON is readable but it's not fast to decode. So it's I should either convert my array into pure php code or I have to serialize it and then deserialize. So, which is faster? Are there any better solutions?I could do a benchmark myself, but It's always better to consider other people's experiences 
More info: By big array I mean something with about 2MB worth of data returned from calling print_r() on it!and by converting it into pure php code I mean this:suppose this is my array: \[code\]{"index1":"value1","index2":"val'ue2"}\[/code\]and this would what the hypothetical function convert_array_to_php() would return:\[code\]$array = array('index1'=>'value1' ,'index2'=>'val\'ue2');\[/code\]
