9 A high-performance 100% compatible drop-in replacement of "encoding/json"
11 You can also use thrift like JSON using [thrift-iterator](https://github.com/thrift-iterator/go)

19 Raw Result (easyjson requires static code generation)
21 | | ns/op | allocation bytes | allocation times |
22 | --- | --- | --- | --- |
23 | std decode | 35510 ns/op | 1960 B/op | 99 allocs/op |
24 | easyjson decode | 8499 ns/op | 160 B/op | 4 allocs/op |
25 | jsoniter decode | 5623 ns/op | 160 B/op | 3 allocs/op |
26 | std encode | 2213 ns/op | 712 B/op | 5 allocs/op |
27 | easyjson encode | 883 ns/op | 576 B/op | 3 allocs/op |
28 | jsoniter encode | 837 ns/op | 384 B/op | 4 allocs/op |

31 The result depends heavily on the data input.
35 100% compatibility with standard lib

49 var json = jsoniter.ConfigCompatibleWithStandardLibrary
56 import "encoding/json"
57 json.Unmarshal(input, &data)
