Mention 'json-streamer' as alternative?

Hi David,

I'm the developer of the json-streamer gem which is based on your implementation. It spares the need to create your own callbacks for parsing (such as start_document, end_document, key, value, etc.). I think it's worth a mention as an alternative. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Csaba

looks awesome in that it fills exactly my use case: it can replace the simple parser I had to write using son-stream's callbacks!

Neat gem! I'd like to keep the list of alternatives to full JSON parsers, though. The json-streamer gem is a specialized filtering parser, rather than a drop-in replacement for full JSON parsing.

It can easily be used as a drop-in replacement the following way: streamer.get(nesting_level:0)

There's a note of this in the README but I can also highlight this feature if that's the only reason keeping you.

Either way my reason for asking is to help out others who stumble upon the same issue that I did (hence the gem) and I think this thread can attest that they would find it helpful - even if it involves some amount of clarification about the differences. In light of this would you reconsider?
