Do not parse using strip_prefix and then to_string, you're allocating a new buffer after each token! You can use Cow<str> for the result of the "parse string value" function, as most JSON strings don't have escapes you can just return a reference to that slice of the buffer, only allocating when there's actually an escape. In general when writing a parser you should strive to minimize allocations and backtracking.
