Reading an array of unknown length appended its elements to a std::vector one at a time, so a small array reallocated (and moved its elements) at sizes 1, 2, 4, ... The DOM SAX parser now collects the elements of arrays whose length is unknown on one stack shared by all open arrays and moves them into an array of exactly the right size when the closing bracket arrives. An array that grows past 16 elements switches to appending to its own vector, so large arrays pay no second copy. Binary formats, which announce the length, and builds with JSON_DIAGNOSTICS or JSON_DIAGNOSTIC_POSITIONS (whose values need their final place from the start) keep storing into the array directly. The stacks of open containers are reserved on first use instead of growing from one element. The binary readers get a DOM parser of their own, json_sax_dom_binary_parser: it is the plain parser that stores every value directly in its container (the code the readers used before). Their containers announce their size, so the bookkeeping of the collecting parser (frame entries, the destination of a finished container) was pure overhead for them: with the collecting parser FromBinaryShape nested was 3-12 % and containers up to 5 % more instructions (GCC) than before. With the plain parser Linux Ir of FromBinaryShape and FromBinaryBuffer is within 0.8 % of develop (Clang: identical). canada.json has 56 000 two-element arrays that took three allocations each and now take two. DOM parse Ir on Linux against develop (GCC / Clang): canada -7.0 % / -7.7 %, citm -0.8 % / -1.6 %, 124-byte object -5.4 % / -5.5 %; accept and SAX are untouched.
