json.rs

//! A small hand-written JSON reader, used to load dictionaries.
//!
//! Dictionaries — the bundled ones in `schemas/` and the ones callers write
//! themselves for schema mode — are JSON, so something has to read JSON.
//! Doing it here, in about the space a dependency declaration would take,
//! keeps this crate's runtime dependency list at exactly one entry
//! (`er7`, which itself has none), which is worth more in a domain where
//! dependency trees get audited than the few hundred lines it costs. The
//! sibling `hl7-v2-from-er7-into-json` crate hand-rolls its JSON *writer*
//! for the same reason; this is the mirror of it.
//!
//! The reader is deliberately plain: it accepts RFC 8259 JSON, keeps object
//! members in file order (dictionaries are read, diffed, and eyeballed by
//! people, so order is worth preserving), and reports the byte offset of a
//! syntax error so a typo in a 1,300-line dictionary is findable.
