245+ ### New experimental encoding/json/v2 package {#json_v2}
246+
247+ Go 1.25 includes a new, experimental JSON implementation,
248+ which can be enabled by setting the environment variable
249+ ` GOEXPERIMENT=jsonv2 ` at build time.
250+
251+ When enabled, two new packages are available:
252+ - The [ ` encoding/json/v2 ` ] ( /pkg/encoding/json/v2 ) package is
253+ a major revision of the ` encoding/json ` package.
254+ - The [ ` encoding/json/jsontext ` ] ( /pkg/encoding/json/jsontext ) package
255+ provides lower-level processing of JSON syntax.
256+
257+ In addition, when the "jsonv2" GOEXPERIMENT is enabled:
258+ - The [ ` encoding/json ` ] ( /pkg/encoding/json ) package
259+ uses the new JSON implemenation.
260+ Marshalling and unmarshalling behavior is unaffected,
261+ but the text of errors returned by package function may change.
262+ - The [ ` encoding/json ` ] ( /pkg/encoding/json ) package contains
263+ a number of new options which may be used
264+ to configure the marshaller and unmarshaller.
265+
266+ The new implementation performs substantially better than
267+ the existing one under many scenarios. In general,
268+ encoding performance is at parity between the implementations
269+ and decoding is substantially faster in the new one.
270+ See the [ github.com/go-json-experiment/jsonbench] ( https://github.com/go-json-experiment/jsonbench )
271+ repository for more detailed analysis.
272+
273+ See the [ proposal issue] ( /issue/71497 ) for more details.
274+
275+ We encourage users of [ ` encoding/json ` ] ( /pkg/encoding/json ) to test
276+ their programs with ` GOEXPERIMENT=jsonv2 ` enabled to help detect
277+ any compatibility issues with the new implementation.
278+
279+ We expect the design of [ ` encoding/json/v2 ` ] ( /pkg/encoding/json/v2 )
280+ to continue to evolve. We encourage developers to try out the new
281+ API and provide feedback on the [ proposal issue] ( /issue/71497 ) .
