+## C++20 Ranges Support (On-Demand)
+
+When compiling with C++20 (or later), you can use `std::ranges` with the On-Demand API
+via the `get_range()` helper. This enables use of range adaptors such as `std::views::transform`.
+
+```cpp
+#include "simdjson.h"
+#include <ranges>
+#include <string>
+#include <vector>
+
+auto json = R"([
+  { "name": "Alice", "age": 30 },
+  { "name": "Bob",   "age": 25 },
+  { "name": "Carol", "age": 35 }
+])"_padded;
+
+ondemand::parser parser;
+auto doc = parser.iterate(json);
+auto arr = doc.get_array();
+
+// Use std::views::transform to extract names
+auto names = ondemand::get_range(arr)
+  | std::views::transform([](auto elem) -> std::string {
+      return std::string(std::string_view(elem["name"]));
+    });
+
+for (auto name : names) {
+  std::cout << name << std::endl;  // Alice, Bob, Carol
+}
+```
+
+The `get_range()` and `get_key_value_range()` functions wrap an `ondemand::array`
+or `ondemand::object` in a `std::ranges::view` that satisfies `std::ranges::input_range`.
+They work with both exception and non-exception code:
+
+```cpp
+// With exceptions:
+auto range = ondemand::get_range(doc.get_array());
+
+// Without exceptions:
+ondemand::array arr;
+if (doc.get_array().get(arr) == SUCCESS) {
+  auto range = ondemand::get_range(arr);
+  for (auto elem : range) { /* ... */ }
+}
+```
+
+Object iteration uses `get_key_value_range()` and yields `simdjson_result<ondemand::field>` elements:
+
+```cpp
+auto obj = doc.get_object();
+for (auto field_result : ondemand::get_key_value_range(obj)) {
+  std::cout << field_result.key() << std::endl;
+}
+```
+
+The range wrappers are zero-cost: they forward directly to the underlying
+On-Demand iterators with no value buffering or extra per-element overhead.

 ## Compile-Time JSONPath and JSON Pointer (C++26 Reflection)
 
 The simdjson library provides **compile-time validated** JSONPath and JSON Pointer accessors when using C++26 Static Reflection. These accessors validate paths against struct definitions at compile time and generate optimized code with zero runtime overhead. In some cases, we find that it is much faster. Furthermore, it is safer in the sense that the expression

+
+Extra top-level separators are tolerated for compatibility with the legacy
+`allow_comma_separated` behavior. For example, leading commas, trailing commas,
+and repeated commas are treated as empty separators rather than documents.
+
+### Legacy `allow_comma_separated` parameter (deprecated)
+
+The `allow_comma_separated` boolean parameter is deprecated. When set to `true`, it now internally maps to `stream_format::comma_delimited`.
+
+The old single-batch limitation no longer applies - comma-delimited parsing now supports multi-batch processing and threading for optimal performance on large files.
+
+JSON Text Sequences (RFC 7464)
+------------------------------
+
+[RFC 7464](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7464) defines a format for streaming JSON values using ASCII Record Separator (RS, 0x1E) as a delimiter. Each JSON text is preceded by RS and optionally followed by ASCII Line Feed (LF, 0x0A).
+
+Example input:
+```
+<RS>{"name":"doc1"}<LF>
+<RS>{"name":"doc2"}<LF>
+<RS>{"name":"doc3"}<LF>
+```
+
+To parse JSON text sequences, use the `stream_format::json_sequence` parameter:
+
+```cpp
+// Build input with RS (0x1E) and LF (0x0A) delimiters
+std::string input_str;
+input_str += '\x1e'; input_str += "{\"a\":1}"; input_str += '\x0a';
+input_str += '\x1e'; input_str += "{\"b\":2}"; input_str += '\x0a';
+input_str += '\x1e'; input_str += "{\"c\":3}"; input_str += '\x0a';
+simdjson::padded_string input(input_str);
+
+ondemand::parser parser;
+ondemand::document_stream stream;
+auto error = parser.iterate_many(input, ondemand::DEFAULT_BATCH_SIZE,
+                                 simdjson::stream_format::json_sequence).get(stream);
+if (error) { std::cerr << error << std::endl; return; }
+for (auto doc : stream) {
+    std::cout << doc << std::endl;
+}
+```
+
+The `stream_format` enum has the following values:
+- `stream_format::whitespace_delimited` (default): Standard NDJSON/JSON Lines format
+- `stream_format::json_sequence`: RFC 7464 format with RS delimiters
+- `stream_format::comma_delimited`: Comma-separated JSON documents
+- `stream_format::comma_delimited_array`: A single JSON array whose elements are iterated as comma-delimited documents (see below)
+
+The trailing LF after each JSON text is optional but recommended by the RFC for robustness.
+
+JSON Array As A Document Stream
+-------------------------------
+
+Sometimes an input is a single, well-formed JSON array — `[{"a":1},{"b":2},{"c":3}]` — but you want to iterate its elements one at a time without materializing the whole array. Use `stream_format::comma_delimited_array`:
+
+```cpp
+auto json = R"([{"a":1},{"b":2},{"c":3}])"_padded;
+ondemand::parser parser;
+ondemand::document_stream stream;
+auto error = parser.iterate_many(json, ondemand::DEFAULT_BATCH_SIZE,
+                                 simdjson::stream_format::comma_delimited_array).get(stream);
+if (error) { std::cerr << error << std::endl; return; }
+for (auto doc : stream) {
+    std::cout << doc << std::endl;
+}
+// Prints: {"a":1}
+//         {"b":2}
+//         {"c":3}
+```
+
+The parser strips the outer `[` and `]` plus any surrounding JSON whitespace (space, tab, LF, CR) and then behaves exactly like `stream_format::comma_delimited` over the remaining bytes. All comma-delimited features are inherited: multi-batch processing, threading, mixed scalar types, and nested commas preserved inside inner objects and arrays.
+
+```cpp
+// All of these work:
+auto a = R"([1, "x", true, null, {"k":"v"}, [1,2]])"_padded;  // mixed scalars
+auto b = R"(  [ 1, 2, 3 ] )"_padded;                          // whitespace
+auto c = R"([])"_padded;                                      // empty array → 0 docs
+```
+
+If the input is not a well-formed outer array (missing `[`, missing `]`, or empty / all-whitespace), `iterate_many` returns `TAPE_ERROR`. Content **inside** the array is not validated up front — individual document parse errors surface when you iterate, just like `comma_delimited`.
+
+Positions reported via `current_index()` are relative to the **stripped** buffer (the bytes between `[` and `]`), not the original input, for consistency with the existing BOM-stripping behavior.

+C++26 features (static reflection)
+-----------------------------------
+
+If you have a C++26 compatible compiler with [P2996](https://wg21.link/P2996)
+static reflection support, you can compile the simdjson library with the
+`SIMDJSON_STATIC_REFLECTION` macro set to `1`. When this is the case, simdjson
+can deserialize a stream of JSON documents directly into your own structures
+**without** writing any `tag_invoke` function. The library inspects the
+non-static public members of your type at compile time and produces the
+parsing code automatically.

+```cpp
+#define SIMDJSON_STATIC_REFLECTION 1

+
+With C++26 static reflection enabled, you can iterate a stream of cars and
+push them into a `std::vector<Car>` directly:
+
+```cpp
+auto json = R"( { "make": "Toyota", "model": "Camry",  "year": 2018,
+                  "tire_pressure": [ 40.1, 39.9 ] }
+                { "make": "Kia",    "model": "Soul",   "year": 2012,
+                  "tire_pressure": [ 30.1, 31.0 ] }
+                { "make": "Toyota", "model": "Tercel", "year": 1999,
+                  "tire_pressure": [ 29.8, 30.0 ] } )"_padded;
+ondemand::parser parser;
+ondemand::document_stream stream;
+auto error = parser.iterate_many(json).get(stream);
+if (error) { /* handle error */ }
+std::vector<Car> cars;
+for (auto doc : stream) {
+  Car c;
+  if ((error = doc.get<Car>().get(c))) { /* handle error */ }
+  cars.push_back(c);
+}
+```
+
+This works for every `stream_format` value supported by `iterate_many`. The
+following examples each parse the same three cars, but laid out using a
+different streaming convention.

+for (auto doc : stream) {
+  Car c;
+  if ((error = doc.get<Car>().get(c))) { /* handle error */ }
+  cars.push_back(c);
+}
+```
+
+### A single JSON array as a stream of documents
+
+When the input is a single JSON array, you can stream its elements one at a
+time without materializing the entire array as a `std::vector` upfront:
+
+```cpp
+auto json = R"( [ { "make": "Toyota", "model": "Camry",  "year": 2018,
+                    "tire_pressure": [ 40.1, 39.9 ] },

+                    "tire_pressure": [ 30.1, 31.0 ] },
+                  { "make": "Toyota", "model": "Tercel", "year": 1999,
+                    "tire_pressure": [ 29.8, 30.0 ] } ] )"_padded;
+ondemand::parser parser;
+ondemand::document_stream stream;
+auto error = parser.iterate_many(json, ondemand::DEFAULT_BATCH_SIZE,
+                                 simdjson::stream_format::comma_delimited_array).get(stream);
+if (error) { /* handle error */ }
+std::vector<Car> cars;
+for (auto doc : stream) {
+  Car c;
+  if ((error = doc.get<Car>().get(c))) { /* handle error */ }
+  cars.push_back(c);
+}
+```
+
+### JSON Text Sequences (RFC 7464)
+
+```cpp
+// Build input with RS (0x1E) and LF (0x0A) delimiters
+std::string input_str;
+auto append = [&](std::string_view doc) {
+  input_str += '\x1e'; input_str += doc; input_str += '\x0a';
+};
+append(R"({ "make": "Toyota", "model": "Camry",  "year": 2018, "tire_pressure": [ 40.1, 39.9 ] })");
+append(R"({ "make": "Kia",    "model": "Soul",   "year": 2012, "tire_pressure": [ 30.1, 31.0 ] })");
+append(R"({ "make": "Toyota", "model": "Tercel", "year": 1999, "tire_pressure": [ 29.8, 30.0 ] })");
+simdjson::padded_string input(input_str);
+
+ondemand::parser parser;
+ondemand::document_stream stream;
+auto error = parser.iterate_many(input, ondemand::DEFAULT_BATCH_SIZE,
+                                 simdjson::stream_format::json_sequence).get(stream);
+if (error) { /* handle error */ }
+std::vector<Car> cars;
+for (auto doc : stream) {
+  Car c;
+  if ((error = doc.get<Car>().get(c))) { /* handle error */ }
+  cars.push_back(c);
+}
+```
+
+In every case, the user-defined type (`Car` here) does not need a hand-written
+`tag_invoke` overload: the library generates the deserialization code from the
+type's public data members at compile time.
+
+
+**Performance tip**: You will get better performance if you order the attributes (make, model)
+in the order they appear in the JSON document.

+
+JSON Text Sequences (RFC 7464)
+------------------------------
+
+[RFC 7464](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7464) defines a format for streaming JSON values using ASCII Record Separator (RS, 0x1E) as a delimiter. Each JSON text is preceded by RS and optionally followed by ASCII Line Feed (LF, 0x0A).
+
+Example input:
+```
+<RS>{"name":"doc1"}<LF>
+<RS>{"name":"doc2"}<LF>
+<RS>{"name":"doc3"}<LF>
+```
+
+To parse JSON text sequences, use the `stream_format::json_sequence` parameter:
+
+```cpp
+// Build input with RS (0x1E) and LF (0x0A) delimiters
+std::string input_str;
+input_str += '\x1e'; input_str += "{\"a\":1}"; input_str += '\x0a';
+input_str += '\x1e'; input_str += "{\"b\":2}"; input_str += '\x0a';
+input_str += '\x1e'; input_str += "{\"c\":3}"; input_str += '\x0a';
+simdjson::padded_string input(input_str);
+
+simdjson::dom::parser parser;
+simdjson::dom::document_stream stream;
+auto error = parser.parse_many(input, simdjson::dom::DEFAULT_BATCH_SIZE,
+                               simdjson::stream_format::json_sequence).get(stream);
+if (error) { std::cerr << error << std::endl; return; }
+for (auto doc : stream) {
+    std::cout << doc << std::endl;
+}
+```
+
+The `stream_format` enum has the following values:
+- `stream_format::whitespace_delimited` (default): Standard NDJSON/JSON Lines format
+- `stream_format::json_sequence`: RFC 7464 format with RS delimiters
+- `stream_format::comma_delimited`: Comma-separated JSON documents
+- `stream_format::comma_delimited_array`: A single JSON array whose elements are iterated as comma-delimited documents (see below)
+
+The trailing LF after each JSON text is optional but recommended by the RFC for robustness.
+
+Comma-Separated Documents
+-------------------------
+
+Some systems produce JSON documents separated by commas, like `{"a":1},{"b":2},{"c":3}`. This is common when extracting elements from a JSON array or when APIs return comma-separated results.
+
+To parse comma-separated documents, use the `stream_format::comma_delimited` parameter:
+
+```cpp
+auto json = R"({"a":1},{"b":2},{"c":3})"_padded;
+simdjson::dom::parser parser;
+simdjson::dom::document_stream stream;
+auto error = parser.parse_many(json, simdjson::dom::DEFAULT_BATCH_SIZE,
+                               simdjson::stream_format::comma_delimited).get(stream);
+if (error) { std::cerr << error << std::endl; return; }
+for (auto doc : stream) {
+    std::cout << doc << std::endl;
+}
+// Prints: {"a":1}
+//         {"b":2}
+//         {"c":3}
+```
+
+Whitespace around the commas is allowed:
+```cpp
+auto json = R"({"a":1} , {"b":2} , {"c":3})"_padded;  // Also works
+```
+
+Nested commas inside objects and arrays are preserved:
+```cpp
+auto json = R"({"arr":[1,2,3]},{"obj":{"x":1,"y":2}})"_padded;
+// Correctly parses as 2 documents, not 6
+```
+
+Extra top-level separators are tolerated for compatibility with the legacy
+On-Demand comma-separated mode. Leading commas, trailing commas, and repeated
+commas are treated as empty separators rather than documents.
+
+Unlike the legacy `allow_comma_separated` parameter, `stream_format::comma_delimited` supports multi-batch processing and threading for optimal performance on large files.
+
+JSON Array As A Document Stream
+-------------------------------
+
+Sometimes an input is a single, well-formed JSON array — `[{"a":1},{"b":2},{"c":3}]` — but you want to iterate its elements one at a time without materializing the whole array. Use `stream_format::comma_delimited_array`:
+
+```cpp
+auto json = R"([{"a":1},{"b":2},{"c":3}])"_padded;
+simdjson::dom::parser parser;
+simdjson::dom::document_stream stream;
+auto error = parser.parse_many(json, simdjson::dom::DEFAULT_BATCH_SIZE,
+                               simdjson::stream_format::comma_delimited_array).get(stream);
+if (error) { std::cerr << error << std::endl; return; }
+for (auto doc : stream) {
+    std::cout << doc << std::endl;
+}
+// Prints: {"a":1}
+//         {"b":2}
+//         {"c":3}
+```
+
+The parser strips the outer `[` and `]` plus any surrounding JSON whitespace (space, tab, LF, CR) and then behaves exactly like `stream_format::comma_delimited` over the remaining bytes. All comma-delimited features are inherited: multi-batch processing, threading, mixed scalar types, and nested commas preserved inside inner objects and arrays.
+
+```cpp
+// All of these work:
+auto a = R"([1, "x", true, null, {"k":"v"}, [1,2]])"_padded;  // mixed scalars
+auto b = R"(  [ 1, 2, 3 ] )"_padded;                          // whitespace
+auto c = R"([])"_padded;                                      // empty array → 0 docs
+```
+
+If the input is not a well-formed outer array (missing `[`, missing `]`, or empty / all-whitespace), `parse_many` returns `TAPE_ERROR`. Content **inside** the array is not validated up front — individual document parse errors surface when you iterate, just like `comma_delimited`.
+
+Positions reported via `current_index()` are relative to the **stripped** buffer (the bytes between `[` and `]`), not the original input, for consistency with the existing BOM-stripping behavior.
