 Contributors are encouraged to :

+- Follow as much as possible the existing code style. We do not enforce a specific code style, but we prefer consistency. We avoid contractions (isn't, aren't) in the comments.
 - Modify as few lines of code as possible when working on an issue. The more lines you modify, the harder it is for your fellow human beings to understand what is going on.
 - Tools may report "problems" with the code, but we never delegate programming to tools: if there is a problem with the code, we need to understand it. Thus we will not "fix" code merely to please a static analyzer.
 - Provide tests for any new feature. We will not merge a new feature without tests.

 Overview

 The simdjson library takes advantage of SIMD instruction sets such as NEON, SSE and AVX to achieve
 much of its speed. Because these instruction sets work differently, simdjson has to compile a
 different version of the JSON parser for different CPU architectures, often with different
 algorithms to take better advantage of a given CPU!

 The current implementations are:

+The On-Demand approach is designed around several principles:

 * **Streaming (\*):** It avoids preparsing values, keeping the memory usage and the latency down.
 * **Forward-Only:** To prevent reiteration of the same values and to keep the number of variables down (literally), only a single index is maintained and everything uses it (even if you have nested for loops). This means when you are going through an array of arrays, for example, that the inner array loop will advance the index to the next comma, and the array can just pick it up and look at it.
 * **Natural Iteration:** A JSON array or object can be iterated with a normal C++ for loop. Nested arrays and objects are supported by nested for loops.
 * **Use-Specific Parsing:** Parsing is always specific to the type required by the programmer. For example, if the programmer asks for an unsigned integer, we just start parsing digits. If there were no digits, we toss an error. There are even different parsers for `double`, `uint64_t` and `int64_t` values. This use-specific parsing avoids the branchiness of a generic "type switch," and makes the code more inlineable and compact.
-* **Validate What You Use:** On Demand deliberately validates the values you use and the structure leading to it, but nothing else. The goal is a guarantee that the value you asked for is the correct one and is not malformed: there must be no confusion over whether you got the right value.

 Recent versions of Microsoft Visual Studio on Windows provides support for the LLVM Clang compiler. You  only need to install the "Clang compiler" optional component (ClangCL). You may also get a copy of the 64-bit LLVM CLang compiler for [Windows directly from LLVM](https://releases.llvm.org/download.html). The simdjson library fully supports the LLVM Clang compiler under Windows. In fact, you may get better performance out of simdjson with the LLVM Clang compiler than with the regular Visual Studio compiler. Meanwhile the [LLVM CLang compiler is binary compatible with Visual Studio](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/MSVCCompatibility.html) which means that you can combine their binaries (executables and libraries).

 You may still be worried about which SIMD instruction set is used by simdjson.  Thankfully,  [you can always determine and change which architecture-specific implementation is used](implementation-selection.md) by simdjson. Thus even if your CPU supports AVX2, you do not need to use AVX2. You are in control.

+Free Padding
+-------
+
+For performance reasons, the simdjson library requires that the JSON input contain at least
+`simdjson::SIMDJSON_PADDING` bytes at the end of the stream. The value `simdjson::SIMDJSON_PADDING` is
+small (e.g., 64 bytes). On modern systems, you can safely read beyond an allocated buffers,
+as long as you remain within an allocated page. Pages on modern systems span at least 4 kilobytes,
+but can be significantly larger. E.g., Apple systems favour pages spanning 16 kilobytes.
+
+In effect, it means that you can almost always read a few bytes beyond your current buffer---without
+allocating extra memory. However, tools such as valgrind or memory sanitizers will flag such behavior as unsafe.
+Nevertheless, you can still make sure of this capability in your code if you are an expert
+programmer and you are willing to silence sanitizer warnings. The following code provides
+a portable example.
+
+
+The conditional compilation checks for the `_MSC_VER` macro (indicating Microsoft Visual Studio)
+and includes platform-specific headers accordingly.
+The `page_size()` function determines the default size of a memory page in bytes on the system.
+On Windows (when `_WIN32` is defined), it uses `GetSystemInfo()` to retrieve system information and obtain the page size.
+On other platforms (non-Windows), it uses `sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE)` to get the page size.
+The function returns the page size.
+The `need_allocation()` function checks whether the buffer (given by `buf`) plus the specified length (`len`) is near a page boundary.
+If the buffer extends beyond the current page when padded by `simdjson::SIMDJSON_PADDING`, it returns true, indicating that reallocation is needed.
+Otherwise, it returns false.
+The `get_padded_string_view()`  creates a `padded_string_view` from the input buffer.
+If reallocation is needed (unlikely case), it allocates a new padded_string and assigns it to `jsonbuffer`.
+Otherwise (very likely), it creates a `padded_string_view` directly from the buffer.
+The `simdjson::SIMDJSON_PADDING` ensures that there is additional padding for parsing efficiency.
+The calling code just needs to provide `jsonbuffer` (an instance of `simdjson::padded_string`)
+and pass `get_padded_string_view(buf, len, jsonbuffer)` to  `parser.iterate`. Most of the time,
+this code will not allocate new memory.
