Use Cases & Benefits
- Provides a high-performance JSON serialization and deserialization library for Go, accelerated by JIT compilation and SIMD instructions.
- Delivers significantly faster JSON encoding and decoding than standard libraries by using runtime object binding without code generation and optimized memory usage.
- Use for building low-latency Go services that require rapid JSON processing with minimal CPU overhead.
- Use for streaming JSON encoding/decoding from io.Reader/io.Writer to handle large or multiple JSON values efficiently.
- Use for manipulating JSON AST nodes directly to perform partial JSON queries, modifications, and validations without full unmarshaling.
