> All that said, serde_json is incredibly convenient and giving up to write your own parser is a big hammer for a problem that probably doesn't need it.

I had a thought in my reply [0] on this that actually might let him eat his cake and have it too in this regard. I think you can heavily abuse serde::de::Visitor to schema validate without actually parsing (or with less parsing, at any rate). I went into more detail in my comment but I wanted to ping you (@duped).

Or, use sonic_rs::Value which uses simd and arena allocation for keys and in my case for big payloads was 8x faster than serds_json.

Or, use sonic_rs::LazyValue if you want to parse json on demand as you traverse it.

Hey, that's a nifty looking library. Thanks for pointing it out to me!
