jiffyjson is a C JSON parser designed with speed as the top priority. It parses by minimizing memory allocation and scanning the input only once, and the author's published benchmarks reportedly showed it to be faster than existing C/C++ parsers. It is a library aimed at environments where parsing throughput matters more than standards compliance or feature scope.
