Collatejson library, written in golang, provides encoding and decoding function to transform JSON text into binary representation without loosing information. That is,
- binary representation should preserve the sort order such that, sorting binary encoded json documents much match sorting by functions that parse and compare JSON documents.
- it must be possible to get back the original document, in semantically correct form, from its binary representation.
Notes:
- items in a property object are sorted by its property name before they are compared with other property object.
for api documentation and bench marking try,

cd go-collatejson
go test -test.bench=.to measure relative difference in sorting 100K elements using encoding/json library and this library try,
go test -test.bench=Sortexamples/* contains reference sort ordering for different json elements.
