Consider removing easyjson dependency due to sanction concerns #446

Description

@alexandear

This project has an indirect dependency on github.com/mailru/easyjson, a Go library with maintainers based in Russia and affiliated with VK Group. VK Group has known ties to the Russian government and a history of cooperating with Russian security services, including sharing user data.

According to the Hunted Labs report, "The Russian Open Source Project That We Can’t Live Without", this dependency poses a significant supply chain risk. A compromised easyjson library could lead to severe consequences, including:

  • Supply chain backdoors
  • Remote code execution
  • Espionage
  • Data exfiltration
  • Potential "kill switch" functionality

To mitigate these risks, I propose to remove this indirect dependency.

Dependency that rely on easyjson is github.com/wk8/go-ordered-map/v2
