Strason

This project was an early attempt to parse JSON with arbitary-precision numbers before the arbitrary_precision feature of serde_json was added.

It did so by abusing the serde API to sneak pointers through usizes, and later, by disguising pointers of unrelated types as &[u8]s. This involved unjustifiable assumptions about alignment and was likely unsound even when those assumptions were true.

It is now archived and unmaintained.

Do not use this crate. Use serde_json or another JSON parser instead.
