read-package-json-fast offers a significantly faster alternative to the conventional read-package-json module for parsing package.json files. It prioritizes speed and efficiency by employing a more streamlined parsing process, making it ideal for applications that require rapid access to package metadata. While it's fast, be aware that it might not be as robust or feature-complete as its slower counterpart in handling uncommon or malformed package.json files. Use it wisely when performance is paramount!
