marshmallow VS ajson

Compare marshmallow vs ajson and see what are their differences.

marshmallow

Marshmallow provides a flexible and performant JSON unmarshalling in Go. It specializes in dealing with unstructured struct - when some fields are known and some aren't, with zero performance overhead nor extra coding needed. (by PerimeterX)

ajson

Abstract JSON for Golang with JSONPath support (by spyzhov)

    Also, JSON marshaling and unmarshaling may also be an issue. C/C++ are quite varied - I suppose they either use the fields of the JSON as is, or use some ugly-ass macros (u/xkcd-Hyphen-bot, do your thing. It actually fits here), but Go entries would probably used the standard way to do this in Go - the encoding/json package - which needs to read and parse struct field tags at runtime. Does it at least cache the parsed definitions? From the complaints I see about it, I doubt it. Also, there seems to be Marshmallow that can do caching (among other optimizations) and greatly outperforms the build in one. I guess that means the standard library implementation doesn't do it? That would explain why the TechEmpower benchmark entries are so slow - I don't think they use Marshmallow. Marshmallow has less than 300 starts on GitHub, which is far less than what you would expect it to have if it was commonly used.

    I believe this was one of the reasons for marshmallow being written: https://github.com/PerimeterX/marshmallow The idea to partially unmarshal, inspect the type field, and then make a second pass.

    Marshmallow is used internally at PerimeterX for some time, and we've recently decided to open-source it and share a blog post about how it helped us trim 70% of our JSON parsing costs in production.
