public sealed class JsonParser

Remarks

Instances of this class are thread-safe, with no mutable state.

This is a simple start to get JSON parsing working. As it's reflection-based, it's not as quick as baking calls into generated messages - but is a simpler implementation. (This code is generally not heavily optimized.)
