# lowmemjson/compat/json
`lowmemjson/compat/json` is a wrapper around [`lowmemjson`][] that is
a (mostly) drop-in replacement for the standard library's
[`encoding/json`][].
This package does not bother to duplicate `encoding/json`'s
documentation; you should instead refer to [`encoding/json`'s own
documentation][`encoding/json`].
## Incompatibilities
### Tokens
Because the `lowmemjson` parser is fundamentally different than the
`encoding/json` parser and does not have any notion of tokens, the
token API is not included in `lowmemjson/compat/json`:
- There is no [`Delim`][] type.
- There is no [`Token`][] type.
- There is no [`Decoder.Token`][] method.
### Types
When possible, `lowmemjson/compat/json` uses type aliases for the
`encoding/json` types, but in several cases that is not possible
(`Encoder`, `Decoder`, `SyntaxError`, `MarshalError`). This means
that while `lowmemjson/compat/json` is source-compatible with
`encoding/json`, it may not interoperate with code that also uses
`encoding/json` and relies on those type identities.
The errors returned by the various functions *are* the same errors as
returned by `encoding/json` (with the exception that `SyntaxError` and
`MarshalError` are not type aliases).
### Deprecations
Types that are deprecated in `encoding/json` are not mimiced here:
- There is no [`InvalidUTF8Error`][] type, as it has been depricated
since Go 1.2.
- There is no [`UnmarshalFieldError`][] type, as it has been
depricated since Go 1.1.
