Contributions summary:Oleg primarily contributed to improving the `json-iterator/go` library's compatibility with the standard library's behavior. Their commits focused on addressing edge cases related to null values, interface handling, and custom marshaler implementations for enum types. Furthermore, they optimized the performance of the library by reducing the sleep time in placeholder encoders/decoders. These changes demonstrate a focus on refining the core functionality and behavior of the JSON parsing and serialization engine.
