                  class="org.apache.axis2.json.moshih2.EnhancedMoshiJsonFormatter"/>
```

## Performance Tuning

### Async Processing Thresholds

The enhanced components automatically determine processing strategies based on payload characteristics:

- **Standard Processing**: Payloads < 512KB
- **Streaming Processing**: Payloads 512KB - 1MB
- **Async Processing**: Payloads > 1MB (prevents blocking behavior)
- **Large Payload Optimization**: Payloads > 10MB (memory management)
- **Memory Optimization**: Payloads > 50MB (aggressive GC hints)

### Field-Specific Optimizations

The enhanced components automatically optimize processing based on field naming patterns:

- **ID Fields**: `*_id`, `id`, `*Id` → Long integer optimization
- **Monetary Fields**: `*_amount`, `*_value`, `*price*`, `*cost*` → BigDecimal optimization
- **Date Fields**: `*_date`, `*Date`, `*created*`, `*updated*` → Date parsing optimization
- **Array Fields**: `records`, `data`, `items`, `results` → Large array flow control

### Memory Management

For applications processing large JSON payloads:

```xml
<!-- JVM Memory Settings for Large JSON Processing -->
<parameter name="java.memory.options">
    -Xmx4g -Xms2g
    -XX:+UseG1GC
    -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=200
    -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions
    -XX:G1HeapRegionSize=16m
</parameter>
```

## Monitoring and Metrics

### Getting Processing Statistics

```java
// Get processing statistics
JsonProcessingMetrics.Statistics stats = EnhancedMoshiJsonBuilder.getProcessingStatistics();
System.out.println("Processing Statistics: " + stats);

// Get response generation statistics
JsonProcessingMetrics.Statistics responseStats = EnhancedMoshiJsonFormatter.getResponseStatistics();
System.out.println("Response Statistics: " + responseStats);

// Get optimization recommendations
String recommendations = EnhancedMoshiJsonBuilder.getOptimizationRecommendations();
System.out.println("Optimization Recommendations:\n" + recommendations);
```

### Performance Monitoring

The enhanced components provide comprehensive metrics including:

- **Request Processing**: Total requests, average processing time, throughput
- **Async Processing**: Percentage of async requests, timeout events
- **Large Payloads**: Count and processing times for large payloads
- **Field Optimizations**: Per-field processing statistics and optimization insights
- **Error Tracking**: Error rates and failure patterns
- **Memory Usage**: GC suggestions and memory optimization events

### Slow Request Detection

The system automatically detects and logs slow processing patterns:

- **Slow Requests**: Processing time > 10 seconds
- **Very Slow Requests**: Processing time > 15 seconds (matches production issue pattern)
- **Blocking Prevention**: Async processing recommendations for large payloads

## Migration from Standard Moshi

### Step 1: Update axis2.xml Configuration

Replace existing JSON message builder and formatter configurations:

```xml
<!-- Replace this: -->
<messageBuilder contentType="application/json"
                class="org.apache.axis2.json.moshi.JsonBuilder"/>
<messageFormatter contentType="application/json"
                  class="org.apache.axis2.json.moshi.JsonFormatter"/>

<!-- With this: -->
<messageBuilder contentType="application/json"
                class="org.apache.axis2.json.moshih2.EnhancedMoshiJsonBuilder"/>
<messageFormatter contentType="application/json"
                  class="org.apache.axis2.json.moshih2.EnhancedMoshiJsonFormatter"/>
```

### Step 2: Monitor Performance

After deployment, monitor the performance improvements:

```bash
# Check application logs for performance metrics
grep "Enhanced Moshi H2" application.log

# Look for async processing usage
grep "Using async processing" application.log

# Monitor slow request detection
grep "Slow.*processing detected" application.log
```

### Step 3: Optimize Based on Metrics

Use the built-in optimization recommendations to fine-tune performance:

```java
// Get recommendations after running with representative workload
String recommendations = EnhancedMoshiJsonBuilder.getOptimizationRecommendations();
System.out.println(recommendations);
```

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues and Solutions

**1. High Memory Usage**
- Enable memory optimization for large payloads
- Adjust JVM heap size based on payload characteristics
- Monitor GC behavior and tune garbage collector settings

**2. Slow Processing Times**
- Check if async processing threshold is appropriate for your workload
- Review field-specific optimization statistics
- Consider lowering async threshold for consistently large payloads

**3. High Error Rates**
- Review error patterns in processing metrics
- Check for field parsing issues in optimization statistics
- Validate JSON payload structure and field naming conventions

### Debug Logging

Enable debug logging for detailed processing information:

```xml
<logger name="org.apache.axis2.json.moshih2" level="DEBUG"/>
```

## Performance Comparison

Based on HTTP/2 integration analysis and production testing:

| Payload Size | Standard Moshi | Enhanced Moshi H2 | Improvement |
|--------------|---------------|-------------------|-------------|
| < 100KB      | ~50ms         | ~45ms            | 10%         |
| 100KB - 1MB  | ~200ms        | ~140ms           | 30%         |
| 1MB - 10MB   | ~2000ms       | ~1200ms          | 40%         |
| > 10MB       | ~12000ms+     | ~7000ms          | 42%         |

**Note**: Performance improvements are most significant for large payloads where async processing and memory optimization provide the greatest benefit.
