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.

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.

Introducing Tempo: low latency, cross-platform, end-to-end typesafe APIs
The bebop definition specifies fixed-width types inside a struct. The format of structs cannot be changed, but there are efficiency gains by omitting all of the indices and header data. It's useless as the root message, but it's small and fast for a benchmark.

mus-go - the fastest Golang serializer today
Hey everyone! Let me introduce you to mus-go - the fastest Golang serializer today. If you look at benchmarks (https://github.com/alecthomas/go_serialization_benchmarks), you can see that it could be almost twice as fast as its closest "competitor":

What is the fastest way to encode the arbitrary struct into bytes?

gRPC Is Easy to Misconfigure
The protobuf vs msgpack benchmarks are not too bad. Msgpack performs very decently.

Bebop encoding in Go
Maybe submit a PR against https://github.com/alecthomas/go_serialization_benchmarks? That covers a ton of serialization formats already, so adding your library would be cool and avoid wheel reinvention.

Have you tried the superset of json from AWS?

Introducing JXC: An extensible, expressive data language. It's a drop-in replacement for JSON and supports type annotations, numeric suffixes, base64 strings, and more!
How it compares to Amazon Ion?

Amazon Ion – a richly-typed, self-describing, hierarchical serialization format
Disclosure: I manage the Ion and PartiQL teams at Amazon.
If you want to create an issue for it (the best repo is probably the ion-docs one: https://github.com/amzn/ion-docs/issues) that will help to show us there is demand for it. Providing information on your use case helps us prioritize.
