serde_json_borrow deserializes JSON from &'ctx str into serde_json_borrow::Value<'ctx>, by referencing the original bytes, instead of copying them into Strings.
The default serde_json parses into an owned serde_json::Value.
In cases where the DOM representation is just an intermediate struct, parsing into owned serde_json::Value
can cause a lot of overhead.
Additionally it pushes the (key,values) for JSON objects into a Vec instead of putting the values into a BTreeMap. Access works via
an iterator, which has the same API when iterating the BTreeMap.
You can take advantage of OwnedValue to parse a String containing unparsed JSON into a Value without having to worry about lifetimes,
as OwnedValue will take ownership of the String and reference slices of it, rather than making copies.
Keys in objects are not allowed to have any JSON escaping characters. So if your keys contain any control characters (https://www.json.org/json-en.html), this crate will not work for you. List of unsupported characters in keys.
\" represents the quotation mark character (U+0022).
\\ represents the reverse solidus character (U+005C).
\/ represents the solidus character (U+002F).
\b represents the backspace character (U+0008).
\f represents the form feed character (U+000C).
\n represents the line feed character (U+000A).
\r represents the carriage return character (U+000D).
\t represents the character tabulation character (U+0009).

Instead of parsing a JSON object into a Vec, a BTreeMap could be enabled via a feature flag.
