Thanks Duy for requesting the fold-like procedure.

I read on the work of Oleg Kiselyov work on XML and SSAX. It is very
interesting [0][1]. The description of the foldts (extended tree fold)
is very inspiring. It seems to me it would be possible to make a
json-fold, the high level API of the JSON library layered on top
json-tokenize and json-stream-read. It should be possible to implement
json-read on top of it, and make it much more easy to create custom
json-read implementations (and avoid the continuation-passing-style
code in user case).

Maybe it will be possible to implement json-slice on top of it.

My thinking. I need to further investigate that, but maybe it can be
part of this SRFI.

Looking up functional json parser, also yields https://github.com/chrisdone/jl

There is also http://objectpath.org/
