Handling high-traffic HTTP requests with JSON payloads
Since most of the time would be spent decoding json, you could try to cut this time using https://github.com/bytedance/sonic or https://github.com/json-iterator/go, both are drop-in replacements for the stdlib, sonic is faster.

A Journey building a fast JSON parser and full JSONPath
We all know the builtin golang JSON parser is slow.
How about doing comparisons against other implementations?
Like this one: https://github.com/json-iterator/go

Polygon: Json Database System designed to run on small servers (as low as 16MB) and still be fast and flexible.
Json-iterator (https://github.com/json-iterator/go), you can replace all of encoding/json with this. It does the same thing but it's faster.

How can we umarshal a Big JSON effectively?
Do you want to look at every field all at the same time? If not, you can pick out individual fields. There's other packages such as https://github.com/tidwall/gjson or https://github.com/json-iterator/go that let you pass in paths such as "a.b.c" to extract single fields.

Designing a config API for microservices applications built using Go
For each Go type used within the config, we generate a separate unmarshaller function. The unmarshallers use json-iterator to process the output from CUE, while tracking the path within the config to the unmarshalled value. This path tracking will allow the function to check if live overrides have been provided on that path and return the override instead.

What type of software do you write at your workplace?
https://github.com/json-iterator/go an alternative JSON encoding package which allows to stream (flush out) encoded data as soon as it's able to (which is in contrast with the stock package which buffers everything until the encoding is known to be complete and OK).

Some Go(lang) tips
What to use Easyjson is about the top of the pack and it's straightforward. The downside of efficient tools is that they use code generation to create the code required to turn your structs into json to minimise allocations. This is a manual build step which is annoying. Interestingly json-iterator also uses reflection but it's significantly faster. I suspect black magic.

What is the best solution to unique data in golang
Takes like 10 minutes to write and parses very efficiently. https://github.com/json-iterator/go looks like it can provide such simple parsing
What are some alternatives?
When comparing go-codec and jsoniter you can also consider the following projects:
colfer - binary serialization format
go-json - Fast JSON encoder/decoder compatible with encoding/json for Go
php_session_decoder - PHP session encoder/decoder written in Go
mapstructure - Go library for decoding generic map values into native Go structures and vice versa.
csvutil - csvutil provides fast and idiomatic mapping between CSV and Go (golang) values.
easyjson - Fast JSON serializer for golang.
cbor - CBOR codec (RFC 8949) with CBOR tags, Go struct tags (toarray, keyasint, omitempty), float64/32/16, big.Int, and fuzz tested billions of execs.
goprotobuf - Go support for Google's protocol buffers
GJSON - Get JSON values quickly - JSON parser for Go
