 A basic lua binding to [simdjson](https://simdjson.org). The simdjson library is an incredibly fast JSON parser that uses SIMD instructions and fancy algorithms to parse JSON very quickly. It's been tested with LuaJIT 2.0/2.1 and Lua 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4 on linux/osx. It has a general parsing mode and a lazy mode that uses a JSON pointer.

+Starting with version 0.5.0, the the `atPointer` method is JSON pointer compliant. The previous pointer implementation is considered deprecated, but is still available with the `at` method.
+
 The `open` and `parse` codeblocks should print out the same values. It's worth noting that the JSON pointer indexes from 0.
 
-This lazy style of using the simdjson data structure could also be used with array access in the future, and would result in ultra-fast JSON parsing.

 ## Error Handling
 lua-simdjson will error out with any errors from simdjson encountered while parsing. They are very good at helping identify what has gone wrong during parsing.

+lua-simdjson, like the simdjson library performs better on more modern hardware. These benchmarks were run on a ninth-gen i7 processor. On an older processor, rapidjson may perform better.

 ## Caveats & Alternatives
  * there is no encoding/dumping a lua table to JSON (yet! Most other lua JSON libraries can handle this)
  * it only works on 64 bit systems (untested on Windows...)
