A Go library providing high-performance encoders and decoders for data formats, most notably a drop-in replacement for the standard library's encoding/json with lower CPU and memory overhead. It also includes optimized implementations for other encodings such as ASCII, ISO8601, and protobuf.
Use cases
- speed up json marshaling and unmarshaling in go
- drop-in replacement for encoding/json
- reduce cpu and memory usage when serializing json payloads
- efficient iso8601 date encoding in go
- fast json decoding for high-throughput services
When to avoid
- you need a json library with features beyond the standard library's API
- your project must support old Go versions
- you rely on exact behavioral parity with encoding/json edge cases
