   I would love to have the json_library option configurable beyond Jason and json. I am the maintainer of glazer, and believe it would be very beneficial for the Phoenix community to take advantage of more performant JSON parsing libraries when needed.

   @saleyn You can configure any library you want as long as it has the same API: https://elixir.hexdocs.pm/JSON.html#functions

   (And I think we don’t event use all those. You can grep the code for json_library().)

   You already have encode and decode, so you’re only missing the iodata variants. Of course you could add a wrapper module that just calls encode in that case, as a binary is iodata, but that might not be as efficient.
