  • go-json

    Fast JSON encoder/decoder compatible with encoding/json for Go

    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.

  • easyjson

    Fast JSON serializer for golang.

    There is https://github.com/mailru/easyjson out there if you are absolutely sure that serialization is the bottleneck. Otherwise I'd go for stdlib.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
