Lite^3, a JSON-Compatible Zero-Copy Serialization Format

  Lite^3 is a clever encoding for JSON data that is indexed as-encoded and is mutable in place.

  Perhaps I should have posted this URI instead: https://lite3.io/design_and_limitations.html

  Lite^3 deserves to be noticed by HN. u/eliasdejong (the author) posted it 23 days ago but it didn't get very far. I'm hoping this time it gets noticed.

  The docs mention that space for overwritten variable-sized values in the buffer is not reclaimed:

      The overridden space is never recovered, causing buffer size
      to grow indefinitely.
  

  Is the garbage at least zeroed? Otherwise seems like it could "leak" overwritten values when sending whole buffers via memcpy
