+/// Deserializes an instance of type `T` from an I/O stream using an
+/// internal buffer for high performance.
+///
+/// This function is the high-performance counterpart to [`from_reader`].
+///
+/// It wraps the given `io::Read` source in a [`read::BufferedIoRead`]
+/// struct. This specialized reader avoids the per-byte processing overhead
+/// of a simple `io::Read` wrapper (like that used by [`from_reader`])
+/// by reading data in chunks into an internal buffer. It then applies the
+/// same highly-optimized, `memchr`-based parsing logic used for slices
+/// (`SliceRead`) to this internal buffer.
+///
+/// This method is significantly faster (e.g., **~28.6% faster** on a 2.2MB
+/// JSON file) than using `from_reader` even with an external
+/// `std::io::BufReader`, as it entirely eliminates the per-byte
+/// bookkeeping cost during parsing.
+///
+/// ---
+///
+/// ### Buffer Size
+///
+/// This function creates a [`read::BufferedIoRead`] with a **default
+/// internal buffer** (currently 128 bytes).
+///
+/// For most use cases, this default is a good starting point. If you are
+/// parsing from a very slow I/O source or need to control the buffer
+/// size (e.g., to use a larger 8KB buffer) or its allocation, you can
+/// construct a [`read::BufferedIoRead`] manually with your own buffer
+/// and pass it to the Deserializer.
+///
+/// ### Features
+///
+/// This function is only available when the `std` feature is enabled.
+///
+/// # Example
+///
+/// ```
+/// use serde::Deserialize;
+///
+/// use std::error::Error;
+/// use std::fs::File;
+/// use std::io::BufReader;
+/// use std::path::Path;
+///
+/// #[derive(Deserialize, Debug)]
+/// struct User {
+///     fingerprint: String,
+///     location: String,
+/// }
+///
+/// fn read_user_from_file<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Result<User, Box<dyn Error>> {
+///     // Open the file in read-only mode.
+///     let file = File::open(path)?;
+///
+///     // Read the JSON contents of the file as an instance of `User` with default buffer.
+///     let u = serde_json::from_reader_buffered(file)?;
+///
+///     // Return the `User`.
+///     Ok(u)
+/// }
+///
+/// fn main() {
+/// # }
+/// # fn fake_main() {
+///     let u = read_user_from_file("test.json").unwrap();
+///     println!("{:#?}", u);
