JarCastingjson-stream
JSON Streaming library for Java
This library allows JSON input to be parsed on the fly, avoiding the need to allocate memory for the largest possible input.
To use:
JSONStream stream = new JSONStream();
As each character is received (for example, from an HTTP connection):
stream.accept(ch)
When all characters have been processed:
stream.close();
(If the characters are being read from a Reader, the EOF character may be passed to the stream; this will have the same effect as close().)
Alternatively, a String may be sent in a single operation (although this defeats the purpose of a byte-by-byte parser!); in this case the close() will be sent to the stream at the end of the data.
The resulting JSONValue (for example, a JSONObject) is available by calling:
JSONValue = stream.getResult();
Pipeline
And now - JSONArrayPipeline. This class takes an Acceptor as a constructor argument (see pipelines), and as characters are fed to it from the string form of a JSON array, the parsed array elements are passed to the consumer. See the test for an example.
