# ColorJSON: The Fast Color JSON Marshaller for Go
![ColorJSON Output](https://i.imgur.com/pLtCXhb.png)
## What is this?
This package is based heavily on hokaccha/go-prettyjson but has some noticeable differences:
- Over twice as fast (recursive descent serialization uses buffer instead of string concatenation)
```
BenchmarkColorJSONMarshall-4 500000 2498 ns/op
BenchmarkPrettyJSON-4 200000 6145 ns/op
```
- more customizable (ability to have zero indent, print raw json strings, etc...)
- better defaults (less bold colors)
ColorJSON was built in order to produce fast beautiful colorized JSON output for [Saw](http://github.com/TylerBrock/saw).
## Installation
```sh
go get -u github.com/therootcompany/golib/colorjson
```
## Usage
Setup
```go
import "github.com/therootcompany/golib/colorjson"
str := `{
"str": "foo",
"num": 100,
"bool": false,
"null": null,
"array": ["foo", "bar", "baz"],
"obj": { "a": 1, "b": 2 }
}`
// Create an intersting JSON object to marshal in a pretty format
var obj map[string]any
json.Unmarshal([]byte(str), &obj)
```
Vanilla Usage
```go
s, _ := colorjson.Marshal(obj)
fmt.Println(string(s))
```
Customization (Custom Indent)
```go
f := colorjson.NewFormatter()
f.Indent = 2
s, _ := f.Marshal(v)
fmt.Println(string(s))
```
