go-simplejson is a Go library for reading and manipulating arbitrary JSON with a simple, chainable API. It wraps encoding/json to make it easy to get and set values in JSON structures of unknown shape.

Use cases

  • parse arbitrary json in go
  • read json fields without defining structs
  • get and set values in dynamic json
  • work with json of unknown schema
  • safely extract nested json values

When to choose

  • you need to handle JSON whose structure is not known at compile time
  • you want a lightweight, chainable API over encoding/json
  • you only need simple get/set access to JSON data

When to avoid

  • you need strict schema validation or unmarshaling into typed structs
  • you need high-performance JSON parsing
  • you need JSONPath or complex query features
