random-json-stream

This is a nodejs stream that outputs random json. Thanks to @ralphtheninja's slump

Usage

var rjs = require('random-json-stream')
var ndjson = require('ndjson')

rjs()
  .pipe(ndjson.stringify())
  .pipe(process.stdout)

Options:

• count - number of objects, 0 means infinity (default: 0)
• objects - whether to output objects or other things (default: false)

var rjs = require('random-json-stream')
var ndjson = require('ndjson')

rjs({ count: 10, objects: true })
  .pipe(ndjson.stringify())
  .pipe(process.stdout)

Commandline

Works on the commandline, too! Thanks to @maxogden's ndjson.

> npm install -g random-json-stream
> random-json -h
random-json <options> - generate random json

Options:
  -h, --help     this help text
  -c, --count    count of json objects (0 = infinity)  [default: 0]
  -o, --objects  json objects only                     [default: false]

Output 3 json objects:
