Gojay – Performant JSON encoder/decoder for Golang

In plain words

Gojay is a JSON encoder and decoder designed for the Go programming language, prioritizing performance. It provides developers with tools to serialize and deserialize JSON data efficiently. The library is particularly useful for Go developers working on projects where JSON processing speed is important, such as APIs, data pipelines, or high-throughput applications. It offers an alternative to standard Go JSON libraries with optimizations for faster execution.
