    # A parser listener that builds a full, in memory, object from a JSON
    # document. This is similar to using the json gem's `JSON.parse` method.
    #
    # Examples
    #
    #   parser = JSON::Stream::Parser.new
    #   builder = JSON::Stream::Builder.new(parser)
    #   parser << '{"answer": 42, "question": false}'
    #   obj = builder.result
