Package Information

DescriptionFork of go's encoding/json with a public scanner API

This Go library is an alternative implementation and historic fork of the standard library's encoding/json package. Its primary architectural value is exposing the underlying json scanner token validation and state parsing APIs publicly, which are kept internal within standard Go distribution builds.

Exposing these primitives allows low-level tools, high-performance encoders, and downstream data pipelines to perform fast syntax checks, continuous byte-stream verification, and custom structural validation passes directly on raw JSON documents without forcing full memory instantiation or unmarshaling into static structural objects.
