  • 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.

    If you need to support non-Go code I suggest you explore CBOR. There are a few implementations in Go but his is my favorite.

What are some alternatives?

When comparing structomap and cbor you can also consider the following projects:

mapstructure - Go library for decoding generic map values into native Go structures and vice versa.

asn1

colfer - binary serialization format

goprotobuf - Go support for Google's protocol buffers

go-serializer - :loop: Serialize any custom type or convert any content to []byte or string, for Go Programming Language

gogoprotobuf - [Deprecated] Protocol Buffers for Go with Gadgets

go-codec - idiomatic codec and rpc lib for msgpack, cbor, json, etc. msgpack.org[Go]

go-capnproto - Cap'n Proto library and parser for go. This is go-capnproto-1.0, and does not have rpc. See https://github.com/zombiezen/go-capnproto2 for 2.0 which has rpc and capabilities.
