Show HN: Jsmn_Zig – Memory-Efficient JSON Tokenizer for Zig

Share This Post

Hello Zig community!

I’ve created jsmn_zig – a Zig port of the minimal JSMN JSON parser with significant improvements:

Key Features:

Hybrid memory: stack for small JSON, heap for large (auto-switch)

Compact tokens: 4 bytes vs 20+ in standard tokens (80% memory savings)
Zero-copy streaming with proper state management

SIMD-ready optimizations for x86/ARM
Comptime-configurable for embedded use

Perfect for:

Embedded systems where every byte matters

High-performance servers needing low-latency parsing

Network protocol implementations
Configuration file parsing
