This seems to have happened more than six months ago. Am I still supposed to use the Ruby version?

burke commented 7 years ago

It's still packaged as a rubygem because we use it with rails apps. The gem wraps a vendored Go binary. We have access to better crypto libs in Go.

lvh commented 7 years ago

Thanks! That explains a lot. For third party users who don't care about the way Shopify uses it internally, would you be opposed to additional instructions using Go directly?

burke commented 7 years ago

Nope, not at all!

The releases also have .deb files fwiw https://github.com/Shopify/ejson/releases

The latest releases don't have the go binaries, would it be possible to add them?

burke commented 5 years ago

@jbialy Yup, done.
