The 'JSON' format is ubiquitous for data interchange, and the 'simdjson' library written by Daniel Lemire (and many contributors) provides a high-performance parser for these files which by relying on parallel 'SIMD' instruction manages to parse these files as faster than disk speed. See the <arXiv:1902.08318> paper for more details about 'simdjson'. This package parses 'JSON' from string, file, or remote URLs under a variety of settings.
