simdjson

brew install simdjson v4.6.4 Apache-2.0

C++ library providing SIMD-accelerated JSON parsing with high throughput.

Why you might care

simdjson parses JSON significantly faster than traditional parsers by leveraging SIMD instructions on modern CPUs. It's a header-only or compiled library suitable for embedding in performance-critical applications that process large JSON datasets. Use it when JSON throughput matters and you're willing to trade some flexibility for speed.
