That makes sense. I want to rewrite my plist parser to both use Serde and be zero copy (https://github.com/conradev/plist-rs/issues https://github.com/conradev/plist-rs/issues), and for binary plists you would similarly need to convert UTF-16 strings to UTF-8, but wouldn't need to touch UTF-8 strings. I wonder how the API would work. Would json::Value be modified to have a lifetime and contain Cow enums? How would it implement ToOwned? It almost seems like there would have to be separate types, a json::Value<'a> and json::OwnedValue.
