golang-json-experiment

This project tests various mechanisms for parsing JSON in Go. Commentary on each here: http://sean.lyn.ch/2015/02/parsing-json-in-go/

To run:

$ godep restore
$ go build
$ ./golang-json-experiment

Classes of mechanisms

strict_struct.go - Parsing JSON into predefined structures. This includes structure definitions generated by: gojson, json-to-go, jflect, and json-to-struct
loose_struct.go - Dealing with JSON that is parsed into the empty interface.
wrapper.go - Using empty interface wrapping packages to handle type conversion. This includes: typed, go-simplejson, and jason
TODO compiled.go - Using tools to pre-compile JSON parsers for performance reasons.

Sample JSON used to test is included as raw JSON and Paw project.

At this time, only one sample JSON set is included:
