Introduction # In the landscape of modern backend development, JSON is the lingua franca. Whether you are building microservices communicating via gRPC-Gateway, RESTful APIs, or event-driven systems processing Kafka messages, your Go application is likely spending a significant amount of CPU cycles serializing and deserializing JSON data.
In the landscape of modern backend development, data serialization is the circulatory system of your architecture. Whether you are building high-frequency trading platforms, microservices communicating over gRPC, or integrating with legacy banking systems, the ability to efficiently parse and generate data formats is non-negotiable.
Introduction # If you have been coding in PHP for over a decade, you probably have a mental library of “helper functions” you copy-paste into every new project. Functions to check if a string contains another string, to find a specific object in an array, or to validate JSON without decoding it.
