A high-performance 100% compatible drop-in replacement of "encoding/json"

You can also use thrift like JSON using thrift-iterator

Benchmark

Source code: https://github.com/json-iterator/go-benchmark/blob/master/src/github.com/json-iterator/go-benchmark/benchmark_medium_payload_test.go

Raw Result (easyjson requires static code generation)

	ns/op	allocation bytes	allocation times
std decode	35510 ns/op	1960 B/op	99 allocs/op
easyjson decode	8499 ns/op	160 B/op	4 allocs/op
jsoniter decode	5623 ns/op	160 B/op	3 allocs/op
std encode	2213 ns/op	712 B/op	5 allocs/op
easyjson encode	883 ns/op	576 B/op	3 allocs/op
jsoniter encode	837 ns/op	384 B/op	4 allocs/op

Always benchmark with your own workload. The result depends heavily on the data input.

Usage

100% compatibility with standard lib

Replace

import "encoding/json"
json.Marshal(&data)

with

import "github.com/json-iterator/go"

var json = jsoniter.ConfigCompatibleWithStandardLibrary
json.Marshal(&data)

Replace

import "encoding/json"
json.Unmarshal(input, &data)

with

import "github.com/json-iterator/go"

var json = jsoniter.ConfigCompatibleWithStandardLibrary
json.Unmarshal(input, &data)
