The go-encoding-benchmark from fpapadopou

go-encoding-benchmark's Introduction

Simple Encoding Benchmark

A benchmark comparison of the following:

standard Go library JSON Marhsal/Unmarshal
easyjson custom Marshal/Unmarshal
standard Go library gob Encode/Decode

Benchmarks executed on the following setup:
MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
2,6 GHz Dual-Core Intel Core i5
8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

[Optional] Update easyjson custom encoder/decoder for project structs with

cd encoding && easyjson -all encoding.go

Run benchmarks with the following command

cd encoding && go test -bench=.

Results look like the following
