 The Common Lisp Community Survey 2024 Results are in, providing insights into the preferences and interests of programmers using the language. According to the survey, cl-json emerged as the top choice for JSON parsing, followed by com.inuoe.jzon and YASON. For XML processing, Plump was the most preferred option. The survey also revealed that a significant number of respondents do not require JSON or XML parsing in their work.

The results show that Common Lispers prioritize serialization formats, with 2/3 of participants indicating no need for XML parsing. Additionally, the community's preferences for CLI tools and user interfaces were revealed, with Clingon and Unix-opts being top choices.
