    For go -> you can actually get away with the standard json encoding package. Or if you want a slightly better one, I prefer goccy/go-json

    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.

  • Go is 2-3 times slower than JS in a similar code. What makes Go slow in this specific code?

    go stdlib json encoding/decoding is incredibly slow, not sure for how much longer because there are drop in replacements now that I think are just as strict and feature parity.

    However, I understand the code that is generated is super optimized. For example, rather than use a router, it does a static code generated router. Rather than use goccy/go-json, it does manual marshalling.

  • Using a json lib other than encoding/json

    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.
