What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-30, confidence not recorded
A high-performance, idiomatic Go codec/encoding library supporting binary and text formats including msgpack, cbor, json, binc, and simple. It also includes the codecgen code-generation tool and benchmarks against other serialization libraries.
Use cases
- encode and decode msgpack in Go
- serialize structs to cbor
- high performance json encoding for Go
- binary serialization library for Go services
- generate codec methods for Go structs
- compare serialization library benchmarks
When to choose
- you need fast, feature-rich encoding for msgpack, cbor, or json in Go
- you want a single codec API across multiple binary and text formats
- you need code-generated fast paths for hot serialization code
When to avoid
- you only need standard library encoding/json with no special formats
- you work outside the Go ecosystem
- you need schema-based IDL serialization like protobuf
