Description
Hi,
I am using boost::interprocess::bufferstream to avoid extra memory copy when you use stringstream in order to parse a char* or string. But it has a dependency on Boost and most of people wouldn't want it.
I think general or simplified bufferstream could be easily implemented and embedded into jsoncpp and then you could provide parseFromString or parseFromChar with no memory copy. What do you think?
Regards,
Ian

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing JSON parsing entry points and the proposed parseFromString and parseFromChar methods, alongside the bufferstream approach described in the issue. Done would mean agreeing on and implementing a buffer-streaming API that avoids the extra copy without requiring Boost.
