Consider using yyjson as a fallback

[lemire]

Though we need better documentation and investigation, it seems likely that we could use yyjson as a faster fallback than our current fallback. My understanding is that @jkeiser wrote the fallback competently, but without hope of breaking speed barriers. At least for DOM parsing, this appears like an interesting practical possibility.

Does that mean yyjson may become an optional build dependency of simdjson? I'll have to package that for debian as well.

It would almost certainly be bundled as is, if not modified to better suite simdjson and reduce repetition (ex: float parsing). I doubt you will need to change the packaging at all.

Tyler is correct. If we do this, it would not impact packaging.

Thanks for confirmation!

Did this ever get implemented? :)

[lemire]

It did not. Do you want to work on it?
