JSONStream

Small but useful wrapper above erlang jsx to stream json elements from an Elixir binary stream.

Usage

stream_path = ["data",1,"actions"]
{actions_stream,doc_fun} = File.stream!("example.json",[],2048)
  |> JSONStream.stream(stream_path)

stream_path describe the JSON path (string for map key and integer for array index), to the Array/Object you want to stream Element/{key,value}.

actions_stream is the stream of element in case stream_path targets an array, or a stream of {k,v} in case stream_path targets a map.

doc_fun is a function ()->doc where doc will be the whole parsed json document, but without the elements from the stream. It will be accessible only after the whole stream will be runned. Else, doc_fun.()-> :stream_not_finished.

Installation

The package can be installed as:

1. Add json_stream to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

   def deps do

    [{:json_stream, "~> 0.0.1"}]

   end

2. Ensure json_stream is started before your application:

   def application do

    [applications: [:json_stream]]

   end
