split-json

split JSON was sent through some kind of readable stream in JSON objects

API


stream.pipe(split([match], [encoding], [replace]))
.on('data', function (data) {
    console.log(split.JSONValid(data))
})

// js objects
stream.pipe(split.obj())
.on('data', function (obj) {
    console.log(obj)
})

[match] => RegExp, default to os.EOL
[encoding] => String, utf8/ascii, default to utf8
[replace] => RegExp, enable you to remove some delimiters at begin and end of a big JSON file (ex: /(^[\n)|(\n]\n$)/)

emitters

on('data', callback(data)) on('end', [callback])

split#JSONValid

validates JSON, instead to use JSON.parse inside of a try/catch

split.JSONValid(obj) -> return object {value, error}

value:* should be the object corresponding to the given JSON text or undefined in case of error
error: should be an Error object in case of error or undefined in case of success

split#isObject

check is a valid Object split.isObject(obj) -> return boolean

Examples


var split = require('split-json')

// from file

var rs = fs.createReadStream('./test/file1.json')

rs.pipe(split([match])).on('data', callback)
        

// for mongoDB with mongojs use split#obj

var mongojs = require('mongojs')

var db = mongojs('str_conn')
var collection = db.collection('my_coll')

collection.find({})
.pipe(split.obj())
.on('data', function (doc) {
    console.log(doc)
})
.on('end', function () {
    db.close()
})
      
  
  
// TCP socket

on('data', function (data) {
    var rs = new Readable()
    rs.push(data)
    rs.push(null)

    rs.pipe(split(/\n/)).on('data', function cb (data) {
      cb(null, data);
    })
})
