Ask HN: Is open source subject to sanctions?

Context: I use Kubernetes's go client, which eventually relies on github.com/mailru/easyjson This is maintained by Mail.ru which is eventually owned by Gazprom Media which is subject to EU and USA sanctions. Can that library continue to be used commercially given it's under MIT license or is it subject to sanctions? Obligatory, I am not a lawyer and very confused.

From the description, I'm guessing that using a specific object json parser (such as https://github.com/mailru/easyjson ) would not be vulnerable to such attacks. They will just skip characters if the field is not found. And if a nested field is found inplace of a non nested one, they'll just error

Would be handy if it included a utility to generate the (un)marshaling functions, so that can just be done as a build step. So far we’ve used https://github.com/mailru/easyjson for that, but the code generation step is unbelievably slow - multiple minutes for about 100 structs.

You should check https://github.com/buger/jsonparser and https://github.com/mailru/easyjson as well. They are even more faster.
