Summary of Changes

Hello @ReneWerner87, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on enhancing the performance of the schema package through a series of targeted optimizations. It aims to minimize memory allocations, particularly for string operations and reflection-based field access, and to improve the overall efficiency of parsing and encoding processes. These changes contribute to a faster and more resource-friendly operation of the package.

Highlights

• Optimized Path Parsing: The parsePath function in cache.go has been refactored to manually parse path segments, avoiding the overhead of strings.Split and reducing string allocations.
• Faster Field Lookups: A new fieldsByName map has been introduced in structInfo to provide O(1) lookup for struct fields by alias, significantly improving performance over linear iteration.
• Utility Package Integration: The github.com/gofiber/utils/v2 package has been integrated, replacing standard library strconv functions with optimized versions for parsing integers and unsigned integers, and using utils.CopyString for string initialization.
• Efficient Anonymous Pointer Handling: The decoder now efficiently allocates embedded anonymous pointer fields using a dedicated ensureAnonymousPtrs method, leveraging pre-computed indices stored in structInfo.
• Encoder Reflection Optimization: The encoder loop has been optimized to reduce redundant reflection calls by caching reflect.Value and reflect.Type for fields.

Walkthrough

Refactors internal schema parsing and encoding: introduces nextPathSegment and improved path parsing (including slice-of-struct indices), adds structInfo caches (fieldsByName, anonymousPtrFields), centralizes anonymous-pointer initialization in Decoder, and replaces strconv usage with github.com/gofiber/utils/v2 Parse/Format helpers across converters and encoders.

Poem

🐰 Hopping through paths with nimble feet,

Dots and indices now parse neat,
Anonymous pointers find their place,
Utils whisper numbers into place,
Cache and encoder dance in sync — hooray, neat feat! 🥕
