Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

API: Go, .NET, Rust
For go -> you can actually get away with the standard json encoding package. Or if you want a slightly better one, I prefer goccy/go-json

Rob Pike: Gobs of data (2011)
Someone made a benchmark of serialization libraries in go [1], and I was surprised to see gobs is one of the slowest ones, specially for decoding. I suspect part of the reason is that the API doesn't not allow reusing decoders [2]. From my explorations it seems like both JSON [3], message-pack [4] and CBOR [5] are better alternatives.
By the way, in Go there are a like a million JSON encoders because a lot of things in the std library are not really coded for maximum performance but more for easy of usage, it seems. Perhaps this is the right balance for certain things (ex: the http library, see [6]).
There are also a bunch of libraries that allow you to modify a JSON file "in place", without having to fully deserialize into structs (ex: GJSON/SJSON [7] [8]). This sounds very convenient and more efficient that fully de/serializing if we just need to change the data a little.

Go is 2-3 times slower than JS in a similar code. What makes Go slow in this specific code?
go stdlib json encoding/decoding is incredibly slow, not sure for how much longer because there are drop in replacements now that I think are just as strict and feature parity.

3rd party JSON libraries could help if you were comparing JSON. https://github.com/goccy/go-json

ogen: spec-first OpenAPI v3 codegen for Go
However, I understand the code that is generated is super optimized. For example, rather than use a router, it does a static code generated router. Rather than use goccy/go-json, it does manual marshalling.

Minimal dependencies: julienschmidt/httprouter and goccy/go-json

Using a json lib other than encoding/json
I suggested using https://github.com/goccy/go-json at my work, since its a drop in replacement for the standard lib, but there are people who apprehensive. In my opinion the performance gains are significant to justify adoption. But I'd like your input.

How to Build and Document a Go REST API with Gin and Go-Swagger
Now let’s define the functions that will be called whenever a request hits our API. All the functions will be referencing the context provided by the Gin web framework. Paste the following code below the sample slice we just added to api.go:

Uploading and Serving Images from MongoDB in Golang
In this blog, we will delve into the fascinating realm of handling images in a Golang application, leveraging the power of the Gin framework for RESTful API development, MongoDB as a robust NoSQL database, and the mongo-driver library for seamless interaction with MongoDB. To store images efficiently, we'll explore the intricacies of GridFS, a specification within MongoDB for storing large files as separate chunks.

Building RESTful API with Hexagonal Architecture in Go
For building the RESTful Point of Sale service API, I've considered and selected a combination of technologies that would work seamlessly together. For handling HTTP requests and responses, using the Gin HTTP web framework would make sense because I think it seems complete and popular among Go community too. To ensure data integrity and persistence, I'm using PostgreSQL database with pgx as the database driver, the reason I choose PostgreSQL because it is the most popular relational database to use in production and offers efficient Go integration. I'm also implementing caching using Redis with go-redis client library, which provides powerful in-memory data storage capabilities.
It uses Gin as the HTTP framework and PostgreSQL as the database with pgx as the driver and Squirrel as the query builder. It also utilizes Redis as the caching layer with go-redis as the client.

Goravel, Web framework inspired from Laravel in Golang
That's not a problem with Go, it's a problem with frameworks: they give you some abstractions, e.g. the Laravel query builder, but they don't cover all the use cases, so you quickly find yourself using "raw" queries anyway.
There are some well-established web frameworks for Go (e.g. https://github.com/gin-gonic/gin), but they are controversial too, as most Go developers seem to prefer libraries (that your code calls) instead of frameworks (that call your code and impose their structure upon it). So I don't think just cramming a framework from a completely different language into Go will fly...
