readline-json

readline-json

Wrapper around readline that extracts JSON objects from the input stream and emits json events per object found.

var readline_json = require('readline-json');
readline_json(process.stdin).on('json', function(json) {
  // handle json object
});

The library supports single-line and multi-line jsons in one stream, e.g.:

echo '{}
{
  "a": 1
}
{"b":2}' | node myscript.js

Which will emit three json events: {}, {"a":1} and {"b":2}.

TODO

• Add tests
• Improve error reporting
• Support multiple JSON objects in one line
