GJSON
A Go package for fast and simple retrieval of values from JSON documents using path syntax.
What is GJSON?
GJSON is a Go library for efficiently extracting values from JSON data using a dot-notation path syntax. It provides a fast, single-line API for read-only operations, avoiding the overhead of full unmarshaling when only specific values are needed.
Go developers who need to parse large JSON documents or frequently query JSON data for specific values, such as those working with APIs, configuration files, or log data.
Developers choose GJSON for its performance, with zero allocations in common cases and faster query times compared to standard Go JSON parsing, and its simplicity with a concise path-based query language that includes wildcards, array queries, and modifiers.
