Pull request overview
This pull request re-introduces JSON diffing functionality for postback responses to reduce payload sizes. Instead of sending the complete viewModel in postback responses, the server now computes a diff between the viewModel it received from the client and the updated viewModel, then sends only the changes.
Changes:
- Added
JsonDiffWriter- a high-performance UTF-8-based JSON diff computation utility that uses ref structs and stack allocation - Modified
DefaultViewModelSerializerto compute and send viewModelDiff instead of full viewModel when diff source is available - Added comprehensive test coverage with 40+ test cases validating the diff algorithm against the existing
JsonUtils.Diffimplementation
