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

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

Replace

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

with

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

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