Version: 0.1.12

This software also demonstrates in practice how you can generate high-performance parsers with minimal memory consumption using parser_builder.
Creating a fast parser is very easy.
It may be a little slower, a little faster, or have the same performance as a handwritten one, but the time it takes to create it can be reduced by several times using parser_builder.

Information

Collection of JSON parsers.
All parsers are recursive parsers.
Currently contains the following parsers:

• Classic parser. Slightly slower than Dart SDK but with better error reporting system
• Classic parser with BigNum support. No restrictions on the size of integers
• Classic parser with JavaScript support. It parses very slowly in a web browser and quite fast in a non-browser. Not optimized for parsing numbers (uses pure Dart num.parse())
• Parser-handler. Event-based parser. A synchronous parser that does not store the results of the parsing, but instead invokes an event handler. Useful for reading data with filtering
• Parser-selector. Event-based parser. Implemented using parser-handler. Simplifies data selection with just one event

Example using parser-selector

The parser-selector implemented using parser-handler.
This is an example of how you can use a low level parser-handler to perform tasks at a higher level, and at the same time it is an independent implementation of an approach to solving the problem of optimizing data selection with high efficiency.
And, of course, you can make an even higher-level solution that will be even easier and more convenient to use, but this solution will no longer be very efficient in terms of performance.
But, in this case, the tasks can be fit in 2-3 lines of code.
