Products that do what Gosax – A high-performance SAX XML parser for Go does
I've just released gosax, a new Go library for high-performance SAX (Simple API for XML) parsing. It's designed for efficient, memory-conscious XML processing, drawing inspiration from quick-xml and pkg/json. https://github.com/orisano/gosax Key features: - Read-only SAX parsing - Highly efficient parsing using techniques inspired by quick-xml and pkg/json - SWAR (SIMD Within A Register) optimizations for fast text processing gosax is particularly useful for processing large XML files or streams without loading the entire document into memory. It's well-suited…

I've created a powerful tool to help Go developers uncover the hidden giants in their compiled binaries. Go Size Analyzer is like an X-ray machine for your Go executables, revealing: Which dependencies are eating up your binary size Unexpected bloat from standard library or vendor packages Size changes between binary versions with a visual diff Key features that set it apart: Interactive treemap visualizations (check out the demo: https://gsa.zxilly.dev) Slick terminal UI for deep diving into package hierarchies Cross-platform support (works on Linux, macOS, and Windows binaries)…

This started as a hard requirement for my TUI-based editor application, it ended up going in a few different directions. A suite of tools that help with semantic code entities: https://github.com/odvcencio/gts-suite A next-gen version control system called Got: https://github.com/odvcencio/got I think this has some pretty big potential! I think there's many classes of application (particularly legacy architecture) that can benefit from these kinds of analysis tooling. My next post will be about composing all these together, an exciting project I call…

Hello HN, I'm excited to share a project I've been working on: A simple, fast way to process huge CSV and XLSX files directly in your browser and export them as clean JSON or XML Here's a few things that makes this converter different: - runs in the browser - all parsing and conversion is client side can handle data any size data - automatically detects delimiters, encodings, and data types as it parses - Live preview with column renaming, search/replace, and data cleanup - Export to JSON or XML — clean, structured output that can be used for API or Databases backstory: I built this…

No gc, No goroutines, Produces small binaries while using the unmodified official go toolchain, and comes with complete Web SDK (generated from w3c/webref). We are building `pcz` to provide a reimagination of Go the language, in an effort to make it suitable for all kinds of programming tasks, and currently you can use it to build efficient web applications in Go using the generated Web SDK (as shown with the live web demo[1]). The journey is just starting, any suggestions? or any critics? [1]: https://primecitizens.github.io/livedemos/10-plat-web/

Hey HN! I built Gojju, a programming language that cherry-picks my favorite features from 5 languages: - Python: List comprehensions, slicing - Ruby: #{interpolation}, postfix if, blocks - Haskell: |> pipe operator, lambdas \x -> x+1, Maybe/Either - Perl: unless/until, regex literals - JavaScript: Arrow functions =>, spread ... Example: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] |> filter(\x -> x % 2 == 0) |> map(\x -> x * 2) |> sum Install: `pip install gojju` The name "Gojju" (ಗೊಜ್ಜು) means "essence" or "secret ingredient" in Kannada. Would love feedback on the syntax choices!

Serialization framework with some interesting numbers: 10-20x faster on nested objects than json/protobuf. Technical approach: compile-time codegen (no reflection), compact binary protocol with meta-packing, little-endian layout optimized for modern CPUs. Unique features that other fast serializers don't have: - Cross-language without IDL files (Rust ↔ Python/Java/Go) - Trait object serialization (Box) - Automatic circular reference handling - Schema evolution without coordination Happy to discuss design trade-offs. Benchmarks:…

We built Gonzo to make log analysis faster and friendlier in the terminal. Think of it like k9s for logs — a TUI that can ingest JSON, text, or OpenTelemetry (OTLP) logs, highlight and boil up patterns, and even run AI models locally or via API to summarize logs. We’re still iterating, so ideas and contributions are welcome!

This is a loose port of https://golang.org/x/tools/txtar, which concatenates files together and allows for a top-level comment. The txtar format is specifically designed to be easy for humans to read and write by hand. It's perfect for test data. The library itself tries to follow scheme standards by depending on only SRFIs (and if you're new to scheme like me, SRFI stands for "Scheme Requests For Implementation," and it's like a standard library). I hope this is a helpful showcase of a scheme library! I'm also new to writing scheme, and if any experienced…

Hi HN! I've spent the last few weeks optimizing the string operations in StringZilla. You'd be surprised how much performance GLibc and the Standard Templates Library of C++ are leaving on the table, especially on Arm and, likely, on RISC-V. I've significantly increased the number of implemented algorithms for different workloads. Searching across English texts on Arm, for example: - is 4.4x faster than STL, - and 16.8x faster in reverse order. The new version of the library now includes a C++ binding largely compatible with the C++ Standard, featuring all 17 overloads of the `replace`…

Hi HN -- I built HTTP:COLON, a small, open-source web tool for quickly checking a site’s HTTP response headers and learning what they mean as you go. Link: https://httpcolon.dev/ What it does - Enter a URL and fetch its response headers - Groups common headers into handy buckets (cache, content, security) - Includes short docs/tooltips for headers and directives so you can look things up while debugging. I find hovering on highlighted headers quite useful! Supports different HTTP methods (GET/POST/PUT/DELETE) Deep links - You can link directly to a host,…

Lox is a parser and lexer generator for Go. Heavily inspired on ANTLR on the surface (combined parser and lexer, action code separated from grammar), but more similar to yacc on the internals (LR(1), dependency-free parser). I'm especially proud of the type-safe Go action generation where the reduce-artifact's Go type is determined by the user-action's return type, and then used to match and verify its use in other productions.
