decimal

Uses half-to-even (banker's) rounding to 19 digits for mathematically accurate results, essential for financial calculations where precision is critical.

Optimized to avoid heap allocations during arithmetic operations, preventing garbage collector impact and ensuring high-speed performance, as shown in benchmarks with up to 600% faster operations compared to alternatives.

Methods return errors instead of panicking for cases like overflow or division by zero, improving application stability and reliability in production systems.

Decimal values are constant after creation, enabling safe concurrent access across goroutines without data races, which is ideal for high-concurrency financial environments.

Implements interfaces for direct compatibility with BSON, JSON, XML, and SQL packages, simplifying database interactions and API serialization without extra boilerplate.
