I'd be interested to see how your parser fares compared to girish's
work (existing benchmark results, somewhat outdated probably, found at
http://git.forwardbias.in/?p=qjsonparser.git;a=commit;h=180f3a1ea85adbea4d77e50ff3be3e75af918252)
- those results at least look a lot better than 7 times faster, but
they are also probably different test data.

But, parser aside: in general terms, I do think I agree that
converting to/from QVariant as an "API" isn' all that nice, so your
approach is a nice alternative.

I do think I'd like to see QDataStream operators on QJsonDocument,
btw. sending json documents in binary form to/from files or sockets
would be useful.
