// The implementation behind the JSONReader interface. This class is not meant
// to be used directly; it encapsulates logic that need not be exposed publicly.
//
// This parser guarantees O(n) time through the input string. It also optimizes
// base::StringValue by using StringPiece where possible when returning Value
// objects by using "hidden roots," discussed in the implementation.
//
// Iteration happens on the byte level, with the functions CanConsume and
// NextChar. The conversion from byte to JSON token happens without advancing
// the parser in GetNextToken/ParseToken, that is tokenization operates on
// the current parser position without advancing.
//
// Built on top of these are a family of Consume functions that iterate
// internally. Invariant: on entry of a Consume function, the parser is wound
// to the first byte of a valid JSON token. On exit, it is on the last byte
// of a token, such that the next iteration of the parser will be at the byte
// immediately following the token, which would likely be the first byte of the
// next token.
