Description

We should use smallvec for serializing/deserializing as it has the ability to use the stack for small vector allocations.

Noticed that orjson is doing the same.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Replace Vec with SmallVec in serialization/deserialization code paths to use stack allocation for small vectors. Study orjson's implementation as a reference.
