sonarqubecloud error corrected Refactor JSONAdapter parse method to use parseImpl Refactor JSONAdapter parse methods to remove adapter parameter Add parseImpl method to json_adapter.h Refactor JSON field handling in regression tests Refactor JSON field processing by introducing a reusable for_each_json_field function. This change simplifies the code in multiple update functions by eliminating redundant logic. Refactor parsing functions for improved validation Cleanup: Remove unused parsing functions Removed unused functions related to parsing and scenario building in json_benchmark.cc. Improve benchmark output and add bilingual benchmark docs Apply minimal Sonar-focused fixes in benchmark parser/script Measure benchmark timer only around transaction loop Revisit JSON Sonar follow-ups for adapter and enum handling Reduce duplicated JSON backend control-flow blocks fix: probably UB (left shift of neg. val) in ip_tree fix: nullptr dereference in seclang scanner fix: unhandled exception in parser Deduplicate shared JSON backend helper functions

what
This pull request introduces the second prototype for evaluating alternatives to YAJL in JSON processing.
The prototype has been reduced to the following JSON libraries:
As part of this change, YAJL has been completely removed.
why
The goal of this prototype is to continue the evaluation of possible improvements to JSON handling in terms of:
By removing YAJL entirely and reducing the number of candidate libraries, this prototype provides a more focused base for validation, comparison, and further development.
