To add an implementation in a new language,
or improve an existing implementation,
check [CONTRIBUTING](CONTRIBUTING.md).
## Tests
Tests are included in [`t/tests.t`](t/tests.t). To run them
(`make test`) you will need `perl` with the [`JSON::Parse`][JP]
module, and a compiler/runtime environment for every language.
[JP]: https://metacpan.org/pod/distribution/JSON-Parse/lib/JSON/Parse.pod
## Benchmarks
You can see the current benchmarks in [BENCHMARKS](BENCHMARKS.md).
To run your own benchmarks (`make bench`) you will need [hyperfine][hf],
and a compiler/runtime environment for every language.
