go-codec v1.2.0 Release Notes
Release Date: 2020-11-11 // over 3 years ago-
🚀 This is a production release of go-codec.
Today marks 1 full year after the 11th day of the 11th month of last year,
a very very special day in my life.🚀 On this very special day, we release the latest patch release of v1.1 and it
🚀 matches with the first release of v1.2.0 of go-codec.🚀 This release should be about 10% faster during decode than previous releases.
🐎 Beyond performance, the focus was on cleaning up the codebase while maintaining support
🚀 for much earlier releases of go, and supporting gccgo.🔄 Changes
- 👌 support gccgo
- 👌 improve performance in looking up fast-path functions or cached struct information
- ⚡️ optimize json's encoding and decoding of numbers (integers and floats) and strings
- ⚡️ optimize base reading primitive functions, to reduce pointer-chasing
- ⚡️ optimize map iteration and lookup
👀 See benchmark results run on a very complicated struct full of embedded types, with multiple nested levels.
Each struct value encodes as 47K of tightly packed json or 37K of binary msgpack or cbor.📦 The main goal has always been to provide the most feature-rich and performant package
for encoding and decoding of multiple popular binary and text formats in a consistent way.We believe we continue to achieve that!
