This project was an early attempt to parse JSON with arbitary-precision numbers
before the arbitrary_precision
feature of serde_json
was added.
It did so by abusing the serde
API to sneak pointers through usize
s, and
later, by disguising pointers of unrelated types as &[u8]
s. This involved
unjustifiable assumptions about alignment and was likely unsound even when
those assumptions were true.
It is now archived and unmaintained.
Do not use this crate. Use serde_json
or another JSON parser instead.
