go_serialization_benchmarks VS msgpack

Compare go_serialization_benchmarks vs msgpack and see what are their differences.

msgpack

MessagePack is an extremely efficient object serialization library. It's like JSON, but very fast and small. (by msgpack)

  • Rob Pike: Gobs of data (2011)
    10 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Dec 2023
    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.

    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.

    The protobuf vs msgpack benchmarks are not too bad. Msgpack performs very decently.

    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.
