Faster JSON serialization

Hi,

I've put up a library to do fast encoding/decoding of JSON for golang in an 'encoding/json' compatible way: https://github.com/mailru/easyjson. The library is similar in usage to https://github.com/pquerna/ffjson, but it is ~2x faster (and also less heavy on allocations) for both marshalling/unmarshalling. Also, golang finally beats ujson for decoding!

Also, I've added options to enable 'omitempty' and to use 'snake_case' field names by default during generation, since this behavior is used by quite a lot of APIs.

The library is currently in an early stage and any feedback would be much appreciated!

Victor

Looks interesting, will definitely try it.

Can you add https://godoc.org/github.com/ugorji/go/codec to your benchmarks?

Neat—nice work + the README is thorough, which I like!

Consider re-running the suite here with easyjson added: https://github.com/alecthomas/go_serialization_benchmarks

(you should, time permitting, submit what changes you can to ffjson too, since it's a popular lib!)

I've added go/codec to benchmarks. It seems to be more-or-less similar in performance to ffjson, except for small requests. Though the bottlenecks are certainly different for those two libs.
