JSON Parser
===========

[](#json-parser)

JSON Parser is a streaming JSON parsing library. It returns the same results as `\json_decode('some-string', true, 512, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES)`.

You might want to use this library when decoding JSON that is multiple MiB in size, where the in-memory approach of `\json_decode()` consumes excessive amounts of memory. This library has constant memory usage independent of the size of the JSON string if used correctly (which is not difficult, see below).

You might NOT want to use this library for small JSON strings of less than ~1 MiB, as `\json_decode()` is about 50x faster. While I aim for performance improvements, the C implementation of `\json_decode()` will always be faster than this PHP implementation.
