Hello,

The Gorm library is a valuable ORM tool for our Go projects. However, we have a need to use an external JSON library within our system. Currently, Gorm does not support integration with an external JSON library. Therefore, we would like to add a custom feature that supports the integration of an external JSON library.

Example Scenarios:

By adding this support, we can address scenarios such as:

  1. Object Serialization with JSON: Enabling the ability to convert Go objects to JSON format and vice versa using an external JSON library.

  2. Customizable Marshalling: Allowing users to define custom JSON conversion behaviors.

  3. Helper Functions: Adding helper functions to facilitate JSON-related operations.

This feature can potentially broaden Gorm's user base and be a significant contribution to our project.

Join the Discussion: Please comment on this issue to share your thoughts and suggestions regarding this feature. If you provide more details or suggestions, you can help us better design this integration.

Thank you!

What do you mean by integration with an external JSON library? also could you please write some use-case with examples?

@saeidee https://docs.gofiber.io/guide/faster-fiber/ As you can see in the link above, I want to integrate libraries that can increase JSON processing performance into Gorm in a similar way.
