jsoner

Simple, fast, minimalist JSON library for node

Installation

$ npm install jsoner

Features

• stream parsing so you can read unlimited amounts of JSON data without ever having to hold the totality of the data in memory.
• append to a JSON file on disk without having to ever read the whole object into memory.

Examples

Reading JSON objects from a large JSON file

var jsoner = require('jsoner');

var stream = fs.createReadStream('really_big.json');
jsoner.parse(stream)
.on('object', function(object) {
    console.log(JSON.stringify(object));
})
.on('error', function(err) {
    // do something with the error
}
.on('end', function() {

};

Appending multiple JSON objects to a JSON Array on disk

var jsoner = require('jsoner');

jsoner.appendFile('users.json', {
    firstName: "John",
    lastName:"Doe"
})
.then(function() {
    console.log('all done');
})
.catch(function(err) {
    console.error('there was an issue', err); 
});

jsoner.appendFileSync('users.json', {
    firstName: "Jane",
    lastName:"Doe"
})
.then(function() {
    console.log('all done');
})
.catch(function(err) {
    console.error('there was an issue', err); 
});

Development

To contribute feel free to open any issues or pull request. When developing locally make sure to run the built-in tests like so:

gulp test

In travis we run the following gulp tasks to make sure the current code is ready to be shipped:

gulp lint coverage

That runs the lint checks and then follows up with the same tests executed during gulp test but with the additional verification that 100% of the code is covered during testing and no untested code is introduced.
