Description

👋 @josdejong! Great useful package!

I found myself doing this in a few places:

const repairedJson = jsonrepair(rawJson);
const parsedJson = JSON.parse(repairedJson);

This works well, but could be more efficient:

const parsedJson = repairAndParseJson(rawJson);

If this is available to end users, jsonrepair won't have to serialize a repaired structure back to a string. As a result, less memory and CPU will be used. WDYT of exposing some kind of a repair and parse function for the library?
