Description

simdjson-rs is a Rust port of the extremely fast simdjson JSON parser with serde compatibility. We could make use of that to improve serialization/deserialization performance. This would have to be guarded behind an optional feature flag because it contains a lot of unsafe code.

Careful here, I don't know how much work this is.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Add an optional feature flag in Cargo.toml for simdjson rs, integrate with serde, and ensure compatibility with existing Python bindings via PyO3.
