Conclusion:
SimpleJSON wins!
SimpleJSON wins by its smallest volume, fastest speed and easiest integration.
SimpleJSON for Unity in continuous optimization, update faster, and small size, fast speed, active code, recommended SimpleJSON
Newton software Json was eliminated because of its large size. It is reasonable to say that such a large class library will support more functions. Unfortunately, the existing projects are not too complex to verify.
LitJson is also compact and easy to use. Unfortunately, speed has no advantage at all.
