No support for non-x86 processors is included. +- We assume AVX2 support which is available in all recent mainstream x86 processors produced by AMD and Intel. No support for non-x86 processors is included. +- We only support GNU GCC and LLVM Clang at this time. There is no support for Microsoft Visual Studio at this time. - This library cannot parse JSON document of size 16MB or more. - We expect the input memory pointer to 256-bit aligned and to be padded (e.g., with spaces) so that it can be read entirely in blocks of 256 bits.
