#web seems quite dead so asking here... I'm posting snippets of clojure data and storing them into a database as strings. later on, I'm returning a group of these snippets at once. what's the highest performing format to store them into a db (edn, transit+json, json)? and what's the simplest format to return if I don't need to parse them on the server for the returning query?

seems like nippy is the answer, https://github.com/ptaoussanis/nippy

To/from binary yes, more readable and also useful for JavaScript is transit, https://github.com/cognitect/transit-clj
