+
+I know what you're thinking! "A new JSON library? Why? Don't we have plenty of those?" Well, the short answer is a
+resounding yes, but this library was born of the frustrations felt using those existing libraries. Don't get me wrong,
+there are some great JSON libraries in Scala and it's not my purpose to disparage them.  However, I assume others found
+the same frustrations I did with the existing libraries. This library benefited a great deal from the things I liked
+about the existing libraries and I went to great pains to make sure it didn't suffer from the same downsides they did.
+
+Once I wrote the library I wanted to do some sanity-checking to make sure the performance wasn't substantially worse
+than the existing solutions. Much to my surprise, the initial performance was generally faster than Circe or uPickle.
+After some additional tuning, [Fabric][fabric] is outperforming the alternatives: [Benchmarks][benchmarks] ([Source][benchmarks-source])
+
+[Check it out][fabric] and please give feedback if there's anything we can do to improve it.
