easy is a fast JSON serializer for Go that generates marshaler/unmarshaler code for structs via a CLI code generator, avoiding reflection. It claims 4-5x faster marshaling/unmarshaling than the standard encoding/ package.

Use cases

  • serialize Go structs to JSON fast
  • unmarshal JSON without reflection overhead
  • generate JSON marshaler code for my structs
  • speed up JSON encoding in a high-throughput Go API
  • customize JSON field naming like snake_case
  • replace encoding/ for performance-critical paths

When to choose

  • JSON serialization is a profiling bottleneck in a Go service
  • you want generated, inspectable, optimizable marshaler code
  • you need options like default omitempty or snake_case keys

When to avoid

  • you need dynamic serialization of arbitrary data without code generation
  • your workload is not JSON-bound and standard encoding/ is fast enough
  • you cannot run a code generation step in your build
