class DefnullPushMultipartParser(BaseParser):
    """
    High-performance multipart parser using defnull/multipart's PushMultipartParser.

    This is the FASTEST parser in our benchmarks - approximately 2x faster than
    DRF's default MultiPartParser. It works in both sync and async Django views.

    The PushMultipartParser is a streaming, non-blocking parser that processes
    data incrementally without buffering the entire request in memory.

    Install: pip install multipart

    Usage:
        from parsers import DefnullPushMultipartParser

        class MyUploadView(APIView):
            parser_classes = [DefnullPushMultipartParser]

            def post(self, request):
                data = request.data['data']
                files = request.data['files']
