JSON Iterator Example

This example demonstrates how to integrate json-iterator/go with Gin to replace the default encoding/json for better performance.

How it works

Gin supports custom JSON serialization and deserialization logic via the json.API variable. By implementing the json.Core interface (which includes Marshal, Unmarshal, NewEncoder, NewDecoder etc.), we can swap out the underlying JSON engine.

Usage

1. Define your custom configuration using jsoniter.Config.
2. Implement the json.Core interface wrappers.
3. Assign your custom implementation to json.API before creating the Gin engine.

Run the example

go run main.go

Test it:

curl http://localhost:8080/ping
# Output: {"message":"pong"}
