gabs
A Go utility for parsing, creating, and editing dynamic or unknown JSON structures with a simple wrapper around encoding/json.
What is gabs?
Gabs is a Go library that simplifies working with dynamic or unknown JSON structures. It provides a convenient wrapper around Go's standard encoding/json package, making it easier to navigate, modify, and generate JSON without complex type assertions. It reduces boilerplate when dealing with dynamic JSON by adding minimal, pragmatic helper methods.
Go developers who need to parse, generate, or manipulate JSON data with flexible or unknown schemas, such as those working with APIs, configuration files, or data processing pipelines. It's particularly useful for scenarios where static struct definitions are impractical.
Developers choose Gabs because it offers a simple, chainable API for JSON manipulation that stays close to Go's standard library while adding convenience features like dot-path navigation, JSON merging, and programmatic generation. Its minimal design avoids unnecessary complexity, making it a pragmatic choice over more heavyweight alternatives.
