clean-json is a Go utility designed to extract the largest valid JSON object from a stream of mixed content. It is particularly useful for parsing logs, data streams, or files where JSON data is embedded within other text.

• Robust JSON Extraction: Efficiently parses and extracts embedded JSON from mixed text inputs.
• Handles Large Inputs: Optimized to process large volumes of data without performance degradation.
• Flexible: Can handle various JSON formats including objects and arrays.
