Cheshire is a high-performance Clojure library for encoding and decoding JSON data. It leverages the Jackson JSON processor, a popular Java library, to provide efficient and flexible JSON handling capabilities. Cheshire is known for its speed and ease of use, making it a preferred choice for many Clojure projects that deal with JSON data.

• **Fast JSON Encoding and Decoding:** Utilizes Jackson's optimized JSON processing to achieve high performance in both encoding Clojure data structures to JSON and decoding JSON strings into Clojure data structures.
• **Customizable Encoding and Decoding:** Supports custom encoding and decoding strategies, allowing you to control how specific data types are handled during the serialization and deserialization process.
• **Keyword/String Conversion:** Provides flexible options for handling keyword/string conversions, allowing you to choose whether to preserve keywords as keywords or convert them to strings in the JSON output.
• **Streaming Support:** Offers streaming capabilities for handling large JSON documents, enabling efficient processing without loading the entire document into memory.

• **Performance:** Delivers fast and efficient JSON encoding and decoding, crucial for applications that handle significant amounts of JSON data.
• **Flexibility:** Offers customization options for encoding and decoding, allowing you to tailor the JSON handling to your specific needs.
• **Ease of Use:** Provides a simple and intuitive API for working with JSON data in Clojure.
• **Community Support:** Enjoys good community support and is widely used in Clojure projects.

• **Dependency:** Include the `cheshire/cheshire` library in your project dependencies.
• **Encoding:** Use the `generate-string` function to encode Clojure data structures to JSON strings.
• **Decoding:** Use the `parse-string` function to decode JSON strings into Clojure data structures.
• **Customization:** Utilize custom encoders and decoders to handle specific data types or apply transformation during serialization and deserialization.
