# Weaseljson

An rfc8259-compliant streaming json parser

# Features

- SAX-style api
- No memory allocations during parsing
- O(1) stack memory usage
- Streaming api - no need to buffer the entire document in memory. Parsing is resumed when more data is available
- Strings are unescaped in place before they're presented. No unicode normalization is performed
- Robust to crashes with untrusted input

# Rfc8259 conformance notes

- There are no limits on number precision. Numbers are only validated syntactically and are presented as is
- Only utf-8 is accepted
- Invalid utf-8 is rejected
- Byte order markers are rejected
- Invalid escaped utf16 surrogate pairs are rejected
- Documents that are too deeply nested are rejected to control memory usage
- Duplicate keys are presented

# Caveats

- Users should be prepared to discard work done during SAX callbacks if the document is ultimately rejected
