Doing the following on a 276K file:

(with-temp-buffer
  (insert-file-contents-literally "test.json")
  (benchmark-run 10
    (goto-char (point-min))
    (json-parse-buffer)))

These are my rough average benchmarks:

           Time    GCs   GC time
Jansson    0.33    10    0.15
json.el    1.21    38    0.48

Nice.  Was there a particular reason (aside from access time) you chose
hash tables instead of a sexp form?
