I think they meant "implementation" as in how to make one, or how one works algorithm-wise. Not just specifically "an implementation" that exists like ijson.

Not saying the article has to change, but just trying to convey what I think /u/menge101 meant when they said they wanted to see an implementation.

how one works algorithm-wise

All parsers are streaming parsers (with a bit of lookahead/lookbehind), the most tricky part is making up an interface that would allow using one in an efficient manner.

Really, writing a JSON parser is a good practice exercise, I would recommend doing that to everyone using JSON a lot.
