I've never seen an implementation that is both streaming and not streaming
at the same time.  Can you say more about how you'd write the API for
that?  Better, can you give an example of such an implementation?

If you mean an application that takes a stream of complete JSON objects
without wrapping them in an array, that problem is likely out of scope,
and the processor would act identically to a non-streaming implementation
in our existing worldview.
