+You may also run a simpler standalone benchmark script on the JSON files in [`jsonexamples`](../jsonexamples) by running the commands:
 
 ```
 php -d extension=modules/simdjson.so benchmark/benchmark.php
 ```
 
+For decoding functions, the benchmark includes both the time to decode the data and the time to garbage collect/free the decoded data.

 The output should look like this

+- `canada.json` is an example of a string with a lot of floats (polygon for a map of canada).
+  Same for the `mesh*.json` files and `numbers.json` file
+- `stringifiedphp.json` is an example of a single long JSON encoded string (representation of php file with newlines and quotes).
+- `twitter.json` is an example of decoding data with a mix of types with a lot of non-ascii codepoints.
+  `twitterescaped.json` is the same data with `"\uXXXX"` escaping and no whitespace.
+- `random.json` is a large object with a lot of short keys, small objects/arrays, and short string/integer values, with some non-ASCII values.
+  `apache_builds.json` contains a lot of whitespace and relatively small objects, string keys, and mostly string values.
