Research direction

Start by reading the Ryu project linked in the issue and locating Jawn's current double-to-string conversion path. Compare the existing implementation with Ryu's approach, then identify the relevant tests or benchmarks before deciding how the faster conversion could be integrated. Done should preserve JSON output correctness while improving conversion performance.
