go test -bench='.*' ./To update the table in the README:
./stats.shIf correctness and interoperability are the most important factors JSON or Protobuf are your best options.
But as always, make your own choice based on your requirements.
The data being serialized is the following structure with randomly generated values:
type A struct {
Name string
BirthDay time.Time
Phone string
Siblings int
Spouse bool
Money float64

The benchmarks can also be run with validation enabled.
VALIDATE=1 go test -bench='.*' ./Unfortunately, several of the serializers exhibit issues:
- (minor) BSON drops sub-microsecond precision from
time.Time. - (minor) Ugorji Binc Codec drops the timezone name (eg. "EST" -> "-0500") from
time.Time.

All other fields are correct however.
Additionally, while not a correctness issue, FlatBuffers, ProtoBuffers, Cap'N'Proto, ikeapack and MUS do not support time types directly. In the benchmarks an int64 value is used to hold a UnixNano timestamp.
Bebop (both libraries, by nature of the format) natively supports times rounded to 100ns ticks, and this is what is currently benchmarked (a unix nano timestamp is another valid approach).
MUSUnsafe results were obtained using the mus-go unsafe package. With this package, after decoding a byte slice into a string, any change to this slice will change the contents of the string. In such cases, the slice can be reused only after processing the received result.
- (major) Goprotobuf has been disabled in the above, as it is no longer maintained and is incompatible with the latest changes to Google's Protobuf package. See discussions: 1, 2.
