go-json

A fork of encoding/json from go's stdlib which contains an extra Decoder function which enforces strict field name matching. This is currently only tested in practice not in any specific unit tests. This should be a drop in replacement for encoding/json.

Motivation

Provide a more suitable outcome in security related json decoding for example when supporting or implementing JOSE.

Requirements

• go 1.18
  • use of any type alias

Changes

• LICENSE is UNCHANGED and completely equal to that of the original LICENSE
  • All credits to the original repository
• Addition of function UseStrictNames to Decoder in 5d7d407:
  • Adjusts the strict boolean field of the decodeState struct to be true for that specific Decoder
  • The strict field determines if the field function equalFold is used when matching struct fields
• Fork of necessary internal packages:
  • Includes the internal/testenv package as github.com/james-d-elliott/go-json/internal/testenv
  • Includes the internal/cfg package as github.com/james-d-elliott/go-json/internal/cfg
• All other changes are purely documentation
