its definitly 100% usabe, we use it in production.
and it has a much easier API than all the other libs.
we created it especially for the purpose of easy (and blazing 
fast!) data extraction from json.
give it a spin and report feedback.
unfortunately i have not had the time yet to write a more 
detailed blog article.
The reason the warning is there is:
- validation: we usually do not care about a few corrupt records 
within millions, thus there is this feature  to silently ignore 
those, i think you still can make these records fail loudly.
- we don't know yet where asdf is bad at, thus we need more 
feedback
- we are open to change the naming convention of the attributes 
if someone comes up with good reasoning
