[SIMD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIMD) (Single-Instruction-Multi-Data) is a special set of CPU instructions for the parallel processing of vectorized data. At present, it is supported by most CPUs and widely used in image processing and big data computing. Undoubtedly, SIMD is useful in JSON processing (itoa, char-search, and so on are all suitable scenarios). We can see that simdjson-go is very competitive in large JSON scenarios (>100KB). However, for some extremely small or irregular character strings, **the extra load operation required by SIMD will lead to performance degradation**. Therefore, we need to dedicate ourselves to branch predicting and decide which scenarios should use SIMD and which should not (for example, the string length is less than 16 bytes).
