Description

I have a string, which is about 10MB in memory. However, when I use json::parse(), the memory cost is 1.6GB.
I wonder if it's a bug?

Reproduction steps

A long string with chinese charater encoded with utf-8.
call
json j = json::parse(str);
can trigger this bug.

Expected vs. actual results

lower memory cost.
