The cited article also shows benchmarks from 2017 in which Jackson parser was out performing GSON in the large file category. We can surmise that there is a constant battle between these objectMappers and Jackson may begin out performing GSON again in the future. For example this article from 2019 with new benchmarks states that the difference between the different mappers is negligible, with Jackson mapper having a slight lead with larger files.

May be more beneficial for reading yang modules if in future we find that processing is slow
