Performance Benefits
The Block Delimiter approach offers significant performance advantages:
- Zero memory overhead: No block tree construction
- Streaming processing: Process only what you need
- Lazy parsing: JSON attributes parsed only when accessed
- String-based operations: Work directly with the source text
- Early termination: Stop processing when you find what you need
This makes it ideal for operations like finding specific blocks, counting block types, or making targeted modifications without the cost of full block tree parsing.
