feat: more compression ig

 A compact binary representation similar to JSON objects. This documentation uses some funky (yet concise) syntax I developed (don't worry, my C++ isn't that bad!).
 
+1. JSON compressed as BKON, written directly to disk (a direct 50% reduction).
+2. BKON further compressed with LZ4 (a clean 90% reduction).
+3. The raw JSON file as fetched from a random data source.
+4. BKON decompressed once again to JSON. Note that this file is a little larger than the original JSON file as it contains a lot more decimal places due to float conversion precision.
