The parser needs a call to restart before it can be used again as otherwise it reports the last calls failure.
Added a simple unit test that exhibits the problem
The unit test is a little light, but I really object to spending a lot of time on this - there are existing well tested JSON parser with more features - I suggest the time would be better spent integrating, e.g. nlohmann/json. This would come with a whole host of advantages (personally I'd like to be able to pull in a validator that depends on this https://github.com/pboettch/json-schema-validator).
