Right, and after re-reading over the thread I realized the binary
representation of this specific implementation is just there for sake
of slimness, performance and lightweight exchange.
Attaining to my desire to store large bin chunks in JSON, this means
that as the parser conforms with JSON, it'd store the chunks as base64
encoded strings?
I would love to see something that, given the binary representation
that's already mmap'able, stores the chunks data (streaming media
files,audio, pdfs etc.) in place in its original binary form, and load
each chunk (as is, binary form, no conversions indeed, super fast)
on demand as it is accessed off the JSON model.
