Some Go(lang) tips

• zerolog

  39 9,900 8.0 Go

  Zero Allocation JSON Logger

What to use I prefer zerolog, but zap isn't bad either. Both boast zero-allocation, which is what you want for a task that should have the smallest possible impact on your application.

• zap

  52 21,040 8.1 Go

  Blazing fast, structured, leveled logging in Go.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• easyjson

  10 4,358 2.3 Go

  Fast JSON serializer for golang.

  

What to use Easyjson is about the top of the pack and it's straightforward. The downside of efficient tools is that they use code generation to create the code required to turn your structs into json to minimise allocations. This is a manual build step which is annoying. Interestingly json-iterator also uses reflection but it's significantly faster. I suspect black magic.

• jsoniter

  12 13,100 0.0 Go

  A high-performance 100% compatible drop-in replacement of "encoding/json" (by json-iterator)
