I develop a library goccy/go-yaml for manipulating YAML in Go. Go already has a major library github.com/go-yaml/yaml, but I wanted a new library for various reasons, so I decided to make it myself from scratch.
This library is a major library among Japanese Gophers as well as github.com/go-yaml/yaml. It is used by many companies and OSS. However, I would like more people outside of Japan to use it.
Perhaps you're wondering why you need to use github.com/goccy/go-yaml instead of github.com/go-yaml/yaml. The reason is I wrote it in the README.
Of course, github.com/go-yaml/yaml is a great library. But in many cases I also believe that github.com/goccy/go-yaml will also help your development.
If you like it, please give it a try. And I would be grateful if you could give me feedback.
Finaly, This library is developed in my personal time. I develop many other OSSs, and depending on the development priority, I may not be able to immediately respond to feature requests. If you have a request for github.com/goccy/go-yaml, please consider sponsoring. I get new vitality thanks to the sponsors. I also strive to meet the needs of sponsors as much as possible.

I think it depends on the application. In many cases, encoding/json is fast enough and stable, but I think you can try to use a faster library if JSON encoding / decoding is performance critical on your application.
I tried to compare it with simdjson-go, but the interface of this library is very different from other libraries and it was difficult to compare. However, I think simdjson-go has the best decoder performance.
Thank you for your feedback! In fact, it's understandable to be scared because it uses a lot of uncommon techniques. By growing this project, I would like to be able to use advanced techniques with peace of mind.
