"outperforms the fastest JSON libraries (that make use of SIMD) by up to 120x depending on the benchmark. It also outperforms schema-only formats, such as Google Flatbuffers (242x). Lite³ is possibly the fastest schemaless data format in the world."

It would also be nice to see a json representation on the left and a color coded string of bytes on the right that shows how the data is packed.
