This is a real “why didn’t I think of that” moment for sure. So many systems I’ve written have profiled with most of the cpu and allocations in the JSON parser, when all it needs is a few fields. But rewriting it all in SAX is just not worth all the trouble.

Maybe you need a query engine and not a parser.

Shameless promotion of my beta engine
