Slurpjson is a research project that parses JSON entirely on the GPU using WebGPU compute shaders, breaking parsing into parallel prefix scans to create a structural tape. It aims to explore highly parallelizable approaches to JSON processing, inspired by Raph Levien's work on invitingly parallel problems.
Background
Traditional JSON parsing is typically CPU-bound and sequential, limiting performance for large datasets. This project explores offloading parsing to GPUs via compute shaders to leverage massive parallelism.
