Simple ordered map for Go, with JSON restrictions. The main purpose is to keep same order of keys after parsing JSON and generating it again, so Unmarshal followed by Marshal generates exactly the same JSON structure

Keys are strings, Values are any JSON values (number, string, boolean, null, array, map/object)

Storage is O(n), operations are O(1), except for optional operations in [slow.go](slow.go) file

When Unmarshalling, **any nested map from JSON is created as ordered jsonmap**, including maps in nested arrays

Inspired by [wk8/go-ordered-map](https://github.com/wk8/go-ordered-map) and [iancoleman/orderedmap](https://github.com/iancoleman/orderedmap)

## Performance

Similar to Go native map, `jsonmap` has O(1) time for Get, Set, Delete. Additionally it has Push, First, Last, Next, Prev operations, which are also O(1). Suite benchmark does 10k of Set and Get, and 1k of Delete operations. `jsonmap` performance is on par with native Go map

## Installation
```bash
$ go get github.com/metalim/jsonmap
```

## Usage

```go
package main

import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"

"github.com/metalim/jsonmap"
)

const sampleJSON = `{"an":"article","empty":null,"sub":{"s":1,"e":2,"x":3,"y":4},"bool":false,"array":[1,2,3]}`

func main() {
m := jsonmap.New()

// unmarshal, keeping order
err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(sampleJSON), &m)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}

// get values
val, ok := m.Get("an")
fmt.Println("an: ", val, ok) // article true
val, ok = m.Get("non-existant")
fmt.Println("non-existant", val, ok) // false

// marshal, keeping order
output, err := json.Marshal(&m)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}

if string(output) == sampleJSON {
fmt.Println("output == sampleJSON")
}

// iterate
fmt.Println("forward order:")
for el := m.First(); el != nil; el = el.Next() {
fmt.Printf("\t%s: %v\n", el.Key(), el.Value())
}
fmt.Println()

fmt.Println("backwards order:")
for el := m.Last(); el != nil; el = el.Prev() {
fmt.Printf("\t%s: %v\n", el.Key(), el.Value())
}
fmt.Println()

fmt.Println(`forward from key "sub":`)
for el := m.GetElement("sub"); el != nil; el = el.Next() {
fmt.Printf("\t%s: %v\n", el.Key(), el.Value())
}
fmt.Println()

// print map
fmt.Println(m) // map[an:article empty: sub:map[s:1 e:2 x:3 y:4] bool:false array:[1 2 3]]

// set new values, keeping order of existing keys
m.Set("an", "bar")
m.Set("truth", true)
fmt.Println(m) // map[an:bar empty: sub:map[s:1 e:2 x:3 y:4] bool:false array:[1 2 3] truth:true]

// delete key "sub"
m.Delete("sub")
fmt.Println(m) // map[an:bar empty: bool:false array:[1 2 3] truth:true]

// update value for key "an", and move it to the end
m.Push("an", "end")
fmt.Println(m) // map[empty: bool:false array:[1 2 3] truth:true an:end]

data, err := json.Marshal(&m)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(string(data)) // {"empty":null,"bool":false,"array":[1,2,3],"truth":true,"an":"end"}
}

```

## Alternatives

* [iancoleman/orderedmap](https://github.com/iancoleman/orderedmap) — has O(n) time for Delete
* [wk8/go-ordered-map](https://github.com/wk8/go-ordered-map) — Unmarshal creates nested maps as native unordered maps, which makes it useless for my purposes

Let me know of other alternatives, I'll add them here
