Optimized JSON for Go is a high performance parser with a variety of additional JSON tools. OjG is optimized to processing huge data sets where data does not necessarily conform to a fixed structure.
- Fast JSON parser. Check out the cmd/benchmarks app in this repo.
- Full JSONPath implemenation that operates on simple types as well as structs.
- Generic types. Not the proposed golang generics but type safe JSON elements.
- Fast JSON validator (7 times faster with io.Reader).
- Fast JSON writer with a sort option (4 times faster).
- JSON builder from JSON sources using a simple assembly plan.
- Simple data builders using a push and pop approach.
- Object encoding and decoding using an approach similar to that used with Oj for Ruby.
- Simple Encoding Notation, a lazy way to write JSON omitting commas and quotes.
A basic Parse:
obj, err := oj.ParseString(`{
"a":[
{"x":1,"y":2,"z":3},
{"x":2,"y":4,"z":6}
]
}`)Using JSONPath expressions:
x, err := jp.ParseString("a[?(@.x > 1)].y")
ys := x.Get(obj)
// returns [4]The oj command (cmd/oj) uses JSON path for filtering and extracting JSON elements. It also includes sorting, reformatting, and colorizing options.
$ oj -m "(@.name == 'Pete')" myfile.json
More complete examples are available in the go docs for most functions. The example for Unmarshalling interfaces demonstrates a feature that allows interfaces to be marshalled and unmarshalled.
go get github.com/ohler55/ojg
go get github.com/ohler55/ojg/cmd/oj
or just import in your .go files.

To build and install the oj application:
go install ./...
The oj application can be installed with brew.
brew install oj
Higher numbers (longer bars) are better.
