 -------------------------

 The simdjson API provides access to the JSON DOM (document-object-model) content as a tree of `dom::element` instances, each representing an object, an array or an atomic type (null, true, false, number). These `dom::element` instances are lightweight objects (e.g., spanning 16 bytes) and it might be advantageous to pass them by value, as opposed to passing them by reference or by pointer.
-
-Padding and Temporary Copies
--------------
-
-The simdjson function `parser.parse` reads data from a padded  buffer, containing SIMDJSON_PADDING extra bytes added at the end.
-If you are passing a `padded_string` to `parser.parse` or loading the JSON directly from
-disk (`parser.load`), padding is automatically  handled.
-When calling `parser.parse` on a pointer (e.g., `parser.parse(my_char_pointer, my_length_in_bytes)`) a temporary copy  is made by default with adequate padding and you, again, do not need to be concerned with padding.
-
-Some users may not be able use our `padded_string` class or to load the data directly from disk (`parser.load`). They may need to pass data pointers to the library.  If these users wish to avoid temporary copies and corresponding temporary memory allocations, they may want to call `parser.parse` with the `realloc_if_needed` parameter set to false (e.g., `parser.parse(my_char_pointer, my_length_in_bytes, false)`). In such cases, they need to ensure that there are at least SIMDJSON_PADDING extra bytes at the end that can be safely accessed and read. They do not need to initialize the padded bytes to any value in particular. The following example is safe:
-
-
-```C++
-const char *json      = R"({"key":"value"})";
-const size_t json_len = std::strlen(json);
-std::unique_ptr<char[]> padded_json_copy{new char[json_len + SIMDJSON_PADDING]};
-memcpy(padded_json_copy.get(), json, json_len);
-memset(padded_json_copy.get() + json_len, 0, SIMDJSON_PADDING);
-simdjson::dom::parser parser;
-simdjson::dom::element element = parser.parse(padded_json_copy.get(), json_len, false);
-````
-

+
+* You can set an upper bound (*max_capacity*) when construction the parser:
+```C++
+    ondemand::parser parser(1000*1000);  // Never grows past documents > 1 MB
+    auto doc = parser.iterate(json);
+    for (web_request request : listen()) {

+      // If the document was above our limit, emit 413 = payload too large
+      if (error == CAPACITY) { request.respond(413); continue; }
+      // ...
+    }
+```
+
+The capacity will grow as the parser encounters larger documents up to 1 MB.
+
+* You can also allocate a *fixed capacity* that will never grow:
+```C++
+    ondemand::parser parser(1000*1000);
+    parser.allocate(1000*1000)  // Fix the capacity to 1 MB
+    auto doc = parser.iterate(json);

The On Demand API has limited runtime dispatch support. Under x64 systems, to fully benefit from the On Demand API, we recommend that you compile your code for a specific processor. E.g., if your processor supports AVX2 instructions, you should compile your binary executable with AVX2 instruction support (by using your compiler's commands). If you are sufficiently technically proficient, you can implement runtime dispatching within your application, by compiling your On Demand code for different processors.

+   * ### Buffer Padding
   *
-   * The buffer must have at least SIMDJSON_PADDING extra allocated bytes. It does not matter what
-   * those bytes are initialized to, as long as they are allocated.
-   *
-   * If realloc_if_needed is true (the default), it is assumed that the buffer does *not* have enough padding,
-   * and it is copied into an enlarged temporary buffer before parsing. Thus the following is safe:
-   *
-   *   const char *json      = R"({"key":"value"})";
-   *   const size_t json_len = std::strlen(json);
-   *   simdjson::dom::parser parser;
-   *   simdjson::dom::element element = parser.parse(json, json_len);
-   *
-   * If you set realloc_if_needed to false (e.g., parser.parse(json, json_len, false)),
-   * you must provide a buffer with at least SIMDJSON_PADDING extra bytes at the end.
-   * The benefit of setting realloc_if_needed to false is that you avoid a temporary
-   * memory allocation and a copy.
-   *
-   * The padded bytes may be read. It is not important how you initialize
-   * these bytes though we recommend a sensible default like null character values or spaces.
-   * For example, the following low-level code is safe:
-   *
-   *   const char *json      = R"({"key":"value"})";
-   *   const size_t json_len = std::strlen(json);
-   *   std::unique_ptr<char[]> padded_json_copy{new char[json_len + SIMDJSON_PADDING]};

-   *
-   * Only one iteration at a time can happen per parser, and the parser *must* be kept alive during

-   *           allocation fails.
-   *         - EMPTY if the document is all whitespace.
-   *         - UTF8_ERROR if the document is not valid UTF-8.
-   *         - UNESCAPED_CHARS if a string contains control characters that must be escaped
-   *         - UNCLOSED_STRING if there is an unclosed string in the document.
