      The Go Driver is missing the dec.peek() analogue that encoding/json has, which can be efficiently used to determine if there is more data in the stack: https://cs.opensource.google/go/go/+/refs/tags/go1.21.3:src/encoding/json/stream.go;l=482

      This functionality is extremely useful. Rather than checking the length of a buffer or relying on catching the io.EOF error a user can exhaust the stack iteratively:

      for dec.More() {
  // Do stuff
}
