Always benchmark with your own workload.
The result depends heavily on the data input.

# Usage
100% compatibility with standard lib
Replace
```go
import "encoding/json"
json.Marshal(& data)
```
with
```go
import "github.com/json-iterator/go"
var json = jsoniter.ConfigCompatibleWithStandardLibrary
json.Marshal(& data)
```
Replace
```go
import "encoding/json"
json.Unmarshal(input, & data)
```
with
```go
import "github.com/json-iterator/go"
var json = jsoniter.ConfigCompatibleWithStandardLibrary
json.Unmarshal(input, & data)
```
