SimdJson is not compatible with null on the path.

[heykirby]

for example json: { "field1": { "field2": "xx" } }

SimdJsonParser parser = new SimdJsonParser();\n JsonValue value = parser.parse(json.getBytes(), json.length()); value.get("field1").get("field3").toString();

The above program will throw a null pointer exception during runtime. but jackson is compatible with this situation.

I have some code optimizations that I hope can be merged into the main branch https://github.com/heykirby/ProtoJson/blob/simdkson/src/main/java/org/simdjson/SimdKsonParser.java

The library doesn't claim compatibility with Jackson, so I'd say that what you described is not a bug. On the other hand, I'm aware of the lack of proper documentation describing the API, guarantees, etc. Adding documentation is definitely on the project roadmap. Can you please describe why you would like to have compatibility with Jackson? What is your use case?

Please submit PR(s) with them. A description providing information on what they improve would also be helpful.
