jscan provides high-performance zero-allocation JSON iterator and validator for Go. This module doesn't provide Marshal
/Unmarshal
capabilities yet, instead it focuses on highly efficient iteration over JSON data with on-the-fly validation.
An experimental decoder with backward compatibility to encoding/json is WiP π§ͺ and is expected to be introduced together with jscan v3.
jscan is tested against https://github.com/nst/JSONTestSuite, a comprehensive test suite for RFC 8259 compliant JSON parsers.
See jscan-benchmark for benchmark results ποΈ π.
