## Documentation ## Alternative libraries
http://godoc.org/github.com/shopspring/decimal When working with decimal numbers, you might face problems this library is not perfectly suited for.
Fortunately, thanks to the wonderful community we have a dozen other libraries that you can choose from.
Explore other alternatives to find the one that best fits your needs :)
* [cockroachdb/apd](https://github.com/cockroachdb/apd) - arbitrary precision, mutable and rich API similar to `big.Int`, more performant than this library
* [alpacahq/alpacadecimal](https://github.com/alpacahq/alpacadecimal) - high performance, low precision (12 digits), fully compatible API with this library
* [govalues/decimal](https://github.com/govalues/decimal) - high performance, zero-allocation, low precision (19 digits)
* [greatcloak/decimal](https://github.com/greatcloak/decimal) - fork focusing on billing and e-commerce web application related use cases, includes out-of-the-box BSON marshaling support
