Hi, thank you for reporting this issue.

Overall, this cannot rely solely on our library. The user should perform some level of input validation on their side—we cannot predict whether they intend to parse input of arbitrary length or not.

That said, based on your suggestion, I have added a default maximum depth limit of 1000. The user can override this by passing the max_depth option to the decode/parse function. I hope this provides a sufficient fix.
