The parser decomposes JSON parsing into a pipeline of parallel prefix scans, producing a flat tape of structural characters. The approach is inspired by Raph Levien's work on 'invitingly parallel problems' and GPU-based JSON parsing. A detailed blog post on the algorithm is forthcoming, with the core parser logic available in the open source repository. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
