Lasso JSON Decoding Proposal

A work in progress by Gary Sprague

I took the sample JSON code from the Whitehouse.gov API site and placed it in the form below.
The sample will run approximately 30ms vs. 1000ms (33 times faster).

Feel free to copy/paste in your own properly formatted JSON code. (you can validate at: JSONLint)

To test, select the method to decode below the JSON Input and press Submit.

The results will display below with parsing duration. Enjoy!
