 **Describe the bug**
-A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
+A clear and concise description of what the bug is. A bug is a failure to build with normal compiler settings or a misbehaviour: when running the code, you get a result that differs from the expected result from our documentation.
 
-A compiler or static-analyzer warning is not a bug.
+A compiler or static-analyzer warning is not a bug. It is possible with tools such as Visual Studio to require that rarely enabled warnings are considered errors. Do not report such cases as bugs. We do accept pull requests if you want to silence warnings issued by code analyzers, however.
 
 We are committed to providing good documentation. We accept the lack of documentation or a misleading documentation as a bug (a 'documentation bug').
 
+An unexpected poor software performance can be accepted as a bug (a 'performance bug').
+
 We accept the identification of an issue by a sanitizer or some checker tool (e.g., valgrind) as a bug, but you must first ensure that it is not a false positive.
 
-We recommend that you run your tests using different optimization levels.
+We recommend that you run your tests using different optimization levels. In particular, we recommend your run tests with the simdjson library and you code compiled in debug mode. The simdjson then sets the SIMDJSON_DEVELOPMENT_CHECKS macro to 1, and this triggers additional checks on your code and on the internals of the library. If possible, we recommend that you run tests with sanitizers (e.g., see [No more leaks with sanitize flags in gcc and clang](https://lemire.me/blog/2016/04/20/no-more-leaks-with-sanitize-flags-in-gcc-and-clang/)).  You can compile the library with sanitizers for debugging purposes (e.g., set SIMDJSON_SANITIZE to ON using CMake), but you should also turn on sanitizers on your own code. You may also use tools like valgrind or the commercial equivalent.
 
 Before reporting a bug, please ensure that you have read our documentation.
 
 **To Reproduce**

+Steps to reproduce the behaviour: provide a code sample if possible. Please provide a complete test with data. Remember that a bug is either a failure to build or an unexpected result when running the code.
 
 If we cannot reproduce the issue, then we cannot address it. Note that a stack trace from your own program is not enough. A sample of your source code is insufficient: please provide a complete test for us to reproduce the issue. Please reduce the issue: use as small and as simple an example of the bug as possible.

-# 0.5
-
-## Highlights
-
-Performance
-* Faster and simpler UTF-8 validation with the lookup4 algorithm https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/pull/993
-* We improved the performance of simdjson under Visual Studio by about 25%. Users will still get better performance with clang-cl (+30%) but the gap has been reduced. https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/pull/1031
-
-Code usability
-* In `parse_many`, when parsing streams of JSON documetns, we give to the users runtime control as to whether threads are used (via the parser.threaded attribute). https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/issues/925
-* Prefixed public macros to avoid name clashes with other libraries. https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/issues/1035
-* Better documentation regarding package managers (brew, MSYS2, conan, apt, vcpkg, FreeBSD package manager, etc.).
-* Better documentation regarding  CMake usage.
-
-Standards
-* We improved standard compliance with respect to both the JSON RFC 8259 and JSON Pointer RFC 6901. We added the at_pointer method to nodes for standard-compliant JSON Pointer queries. The legacy `at(std::string_view)` method remains but is deprecated since it is not standard-compliant as per  RFC 6901.
-* We removed computed GOTOs without sacrificing performance thus improving the C++ standard compliance (since computed GOTOs are compiler-specific extensions).
-* Better support for C++20 https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/pull/1050
-
-# 0.4
-
-## Highlights
-
-- Test coverage has been greatly improved and we have resolved many static-analysis warnings on different systems.
-- We added a fast (8GB/s) minifier that works directly on JSON strings.
-- We added fast (10GB/s) UTF-8 validator that works directly on strings (any strings, including non-JSON).
-- The array and object elements have a constant-time size() method.
-- Performance improvements to the API (type(), get<>()).
-- The parse_many function (ndjson) has been entirely reworked. It now uses a single secondary thread instead of several new threads.
-- We have introduced a faster UTF-8 validation algorithm (lookup3) for all kernels (ARM, x64 SSE, x64 AVX).
-- C++11 support for older compilers and systems.
-- FreeBSD support (and tests).
-- We support the clang front-end compiler (clangcl) under Visual Studio.
-- It is now possible to target ARM platforms under Visual Studio.
-- The simdjson library will never abort or print to standard output/error.
-
-# 0.3
-
-## Highlights
-
-- **Multi-Document Parsing:** Read a bundle of JSON documents (ndjson) 2-4x faster than doing it
-  individually. [API docs](https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/blob/master/doc/basics.md#newline-delimited-json-ndjson-and-json-lines) / [Design Details](https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/blob/master/doc/parse_many.md)
-- **Simplified API:** The API has been completely revamped for ease of use, including a new JSON
-  navigation API and fluent support for error code *and* exception styles of error handling with a
-  single API. [Docs](https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/blob/master/doc/basics.md#the-basics-loading-and-parsing-json-documents)
-- **Exact Float Parsing:** Now simdjson parses floats flawlessly *without* any performance loss,
-  thanks to [great work by @michaeleisel and @lemire](https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/pull/558).
-  [Blog Post](https://lemire.me/blog/2020/03/10/fast-float-parsing-in-practice/)
-- **Even Faster:** The fastest parser got faster! With a [shiny new UTF-8 validator](https://github.com/simdjson/simdjson/pull/387)
-  and meticulously refactored SIMD core, simdjson 0.3 is 15% faster than before, running at 2.5 GB/s
-  (where 0.2 ran at 2.2 GB/s).
-
-## Minor Highlights
-
-- Fallback implementation: simdjson now has a non-SIMD fallback implementation, and can run even on
-  very old 64-bit machines.
-- Automatic allocation: as part of API simplification, the parser no longer has to be preallocated--
-  it will adjust automatically when it encounters larger files.
-- Runtime selection API: We've exposed simdjson's runtime CPU detection and implementation selection
-  as an API, so you can tell what implementation we detected and test with other implementations.
-- Error handling your way: Whether you use exceptions or check error codes, simdjson lets you handle
-  errors in your style. APIs that can fail return simdjson_result<T>, letting you check the error
-  code before using the result. But if you are more comfortable with exceptions, skip the error code
-  and cast straight to T, and exceptions will be thrown automatically if an error happens. Use the
-  same API either way!
-- Error chaining: We also worked to keep non-exception error-handling short and sweet. Instead of
-  having to check the error code after every single operation, now you can *chain* JSON navigation
-  calls like looking up an object field or array element, or casting to a string, so that you only
-  have to check the error code once at the very end.

+General Direct Access to the Raw JSON String
+--------------------------------
+If your value is a string, the `raw_json_string` you with `get_raw_json_string()` gives you direct access to the unprocessed
+string. The simdjson library allows you to have access to the raw underlying JSON
+more generally.
+
+The simdjson library makes explicit assumptions about types. For examples, numbers
+must be integers (up to 64-bit integers) or binary64 floating-point numbers. Some users

+// token has value 12321323213213213213213213213211223, it points inside the input string

+// token has value "12321323213213213213213213213211223", it points inside the input string
+```
+
+The `raw_json_token()` should be fast and free of allocation.
+
+If your value is an array or an object, `raw_json_token()` returns effectively a single
+character (`[`) or (`}`) which is not very useful. For arrays and objects, we have another
+method called `raw_json()` which consumes (traverses) the array or the object.
+
+```C++
+simdjson::ondemand::parser parser;
+simdjson::padded_string docdata =  R"({"value":123})"_padded;
+simdjson::ondemand::document doc = parser.iterate(docdata);
+simdjson::ondemand::object obj = doc.get_object();
+string_view token = obj.raw_json(); // gives you `{"value":123}`
+```
+
+
+```C++
+simdjson::ondemand::parser parser;
+simdjson::padded_string docdata =  R"([1,2,3])"_padded;
+simdjson::ondemand::document doc = parser.iterate(docdata);
+simdjson::ondemand::array arr = doc.get_array();
+string_view token = arr.raw_json(); // gives you `[1,2,3]`
+```
+
+Because `raw_json()` consumes to object or the array, if you want to both have
+access to the raw string, and also use the array or object, you should call `reset()`.
+
+```C++
+simdjson::ondemand::parser parser;
+simdjson::padded_string docdata =  R"({"value":123})"_padded;
+simdjson::ondemand::document doc = parser.iterate(docdata);
+simdjson::ondemand::object obj = doc.get_object();
+string_view token = obj.raw_json(); // gives you `{"value":123}`
+obj.reset(); // revise the object
+uint64_t x = obj["value"]; // gives me 123
+```
+
+You can use `raw_json()` with the values inside an array and object. When
+calling `raw_json()` on an untyped value, it acts as `raw_json()` when the
+value is an array or an object. Otherwise, it acts as `raw_json_token()`.
+It is useful if you do not care for the type of the value and just wants a
+string representation.
+
+```C++
+  auto json = R"( [1,2,"fds", {"a":1}, [1,344]] )"_padded;
+  ondemand::parser parser;
+  ondemand::document doc = parser.iterate(json);
+  size_t counter = 0;
+  for(auto array: doc) {
+    std::string_view raw = array.raw_json();
+    // will capture "1", "2", "\"fds\"", "{\"a\":1}", "[1,344]"
+  }
+```
+
+```C++
+  auto json = R"( {"key1":1,"key2":2,"key3":"fds", "key4":{"a":1}, "key5":[1,344]} )"_padded;
+  ondemand::parser parser;
+  ondemand::document doc = parser.iterate(json);
+  size_t counter = 0;
+  for(auto key_value: doc.get_object()) {
+    std::string_view raw = key_value.value().raw_json();
+    // will capture "1", "2", "\"fds\"", "{\"a\":1}", "[1,344]"
+  }
+```
+
+
+Storing Directly into an Existing String Instance
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+The simdjson library favours  the use of `std::string_view` instances because
+it tends to lead to better performance due to causing fewer memory allocations.
+However, they are cases where you need to store a string result in an `std::string``
+instance. You can do so with a templated version of the `to_string()` method which takes as
+a parameter a reference to an `std::string`.
+
+```C++
+  auto json = R"({
+  "name": "Daniel",
+  "age": 42
+})"_padded;
+  ondemand::parser parser;
+  ondemand::document doc = parser.iterate(json);
+  std::string name;
+  doc["name"].get_string(name);
+```
+
+The same routine can be written without exceptions handling:
+
+```C++
+  std::string name;
+  auto err = doc["name"].get_string(name);
+  if(err) { /* handle error */ }
+```
+
+The `std::string` instance, once created, is independent. Unlike our `std::string_view` instances,
+it does not point at data that is within our `parser` instance. The same caveat applies: you should
+only consume a JSON string once.
+
+Because `get_string()` is a template that requires a type that can be assigned an `std::string`, you
+can use it with features such as `std::optional`:
+
+```C++
+  auto json = R"({ "foo1": "3.1416" } )"_padded;
+  ondemand::parser parser;
+  ondemand::document doc = parser.iterate(json);
+  std::optional<std::string> value;
+  if(doc["foo1"].get_string(value)) { /* error */ }
+  // value was populated with "3.1416"
+```
+
+You should be mindful of the trade-off: allocating multiple
+`std::string` instances can become expensive.

+Performance Tips
+--------
+
+
+- The On Demand front-end works best when doing a single pass over the input: avoid calling `count_elements`, `rewind` and similar methods.
+- If you are familiar with assembly language, you may use the online tool godbolt to explore the compiled code. The following example may work: [https://godbolt.org/z/xE4GWs573](https://godbolt.org/z/xE4GWs573).
+- Given a field `field` in an object, calling `field.key()` is often faster than `field.unescaped_key()` so if you do not need an unescaped `std::string_view` instance, prefer `field.key()`.
+- For release builds, we recommend setting `NDEBUG` pre-processor directive when compiling the `simdjson` library. Importantly, using the optimization flags `-O2` or `-O3` under GCC and LLVM clang does not set the `NDEBUG` directive, you must set it manually (e.g., `-DNDEBUG`).
+- For long streams of JSON documents, consider [`iterate_many`](iterate_many.md) and [`parse_many`](parse_many.md) for better performance.
+- Never seek to access a field twice (e.g., o["data"] and later again o["data"]). Instead capture once an ondemand::value and reuse it.
+- If you must access several different keys in an object, it might be preferable to iterate through all the fields in the object instead, and branch on the field keys.
+- If possible, refer to each object and array in your code once. For example, the following code repeatedly refers to the `"data"` key to create an object...
+	```C++
+	std::string_view make = o["data"]["make"];
+	std::string_view model = o["data"]["model"];
+	std::string_view year = o["data"]["year"];
+  ```
+  We expect that it is more efficient to access the `"data"` key once:
+  ```C++
+	simdjson::ondemand::object data = o["data"];
+	std::string_view model = data["model"];
+	std::string_view year = data["year"];
+	std::string_view rating = data["rating"];
+  ```
+- To better understand the operation of your On Demand parser, and whether it is performing as well as you think it should be, there is a  logger feature built in to simdjson! To use it, define the pre-processor directive `SIMDJSON_VERBOSE_LOGGING` prior to including the `simdjson.h` header, which enables logging in simdjson. Run your code. It may generate a lot of logging output; adding printouts from your application that show each section may be helpful. The log's output will show step-by-step information on state, buffer pointer position, depth, and key retrieval status. Importantly, unless `SIMDJSON_VERBOSE_LOGGING` is defined, logging is entirely disabled and thus carries no overhead.

 Setting the `realloc_if_needed` parameter `false` in this manner may lead to better performance since copies are avoided, but it requires that the user takes more responsibilities: the simdjson library cannot verify that the input buffer was padded with SIMDJSON_PADDING extra bytes.

+Performance Tips
+---------------------
+
+- For release builds, we recommend setting `NDEBUG` pre-processor directive when compiling the `simdjson` library. Importantly, using the optimization flags `-O2` or `-O3` under GCC and LLVM clang does not set the `NDEBUG` directrive, you must set it manually (e.g., `-DNDEBUG`).
+- For long streams of JSON documents, consider [`iterate_many`](iterate_many.md) and [`parse_many`](parse_many.md) for better performance.

 Importantly, you should only call `truncated_bytes()` after iterating through all of the documents since the stream cannot tell whether there are truncated documents at the very end when it may not have accessed that part of the data yet.
+
+Comma-separated documents
+-----------
+
+We also support comma-separated documents, but with some performance limitations. The `iterate_many` function  takes in an option to allow parsing of comma separated documents (which defaults on false). In this mode, the entire buffer is processed in one batch. Therefore, the total size of the document should not exceed the maximal capacity of the parser (4 GB). This mode also effectively disallow multithreading. It is therefore mostly suitable for not "very large" inputs. In this mode, the batch_size parameter
+is effectively ignored, as it is set to at least the document size.
+
+Example:
+
+```C++
+    auto json = R"( 1, 2, 3, 4, "a", "b", "c", {"hello": "world"} , [1, 2, 3])"_padded;
+    ondemand::parser parser;
+    ondemand::document_stream doc_stream;
+    // We pass '32' as the batch size, but it is a bogus parameter because, since
+    // we pass 'true' to the allow_comma parameter, the batch size will be set to at least
+    // the document size.
+    auto error = parser.iterate_many(json, 32, true).get(doc_stream);

+NDEBUG directive
+-------------
+
+In C/C++, the `NDEBUG` pre-processor directive is not set by default. When it is not set, the simdjson library does
+many additional checks that may impact negatively the performance. We recommend that, once your code
+is well tested, you define `NDEBUG` directive in your Release builds. The `NDEBUG` directive should be defined
+prior to including the `simdjson.h` header.
+
+The `NDEBUG` directive is generally independent from optimization flags. For example, setting `-O3` under
+GCC does not set the `NDEBUG` directive.
