I apparently had a fundamental misunderstanding of the meaning of branchless. That's embarrassing.
As for simdjson-go, I did benchmark it. rjson outperformed simdjson-go in most benchmarks, but simdjson-go was about 3% faster reading citm_catalog.json.
I see on your bio that you are one of the simdjson authors. I hope you will indulge a question about it. I am generally more interested parsing a large volume of json documents efficiently than I am in doing it quickly. Since simdjson uses parallel instructions, would that mean that the speedup comes at the expense of being able to process more documents in parallel on the same hardware?
