+=== `deep_symbolize_keys` [[deep-symbolize-keys]]
+
+Prefer JSON's `symbolize_names` keyword argument instead of chaining `deep_symbolize_keys`.
+
+Using `symbolize_names: true` is more efficient as it creates symbols during parsing
+rather than requiring a second pass through the data structure.

 If you're using Ruby 2.3 or higher, prefer squiggly heredoc (`<<~`) over Active Support's `strip_heredoc`.
