stream-json
Advanced tools
stream-json is a SAX-inspired stream components with a minimal memory footprint to parse huge JSON files. Includes utilities to stream Django-like JSON database dumps.
The stream-json package is a Node.js library that provides a stream interface for parsing and stringifying JSON data. It allows for processing large JSON files or streams in a memory-efficient and time-efficient manner by working with JSON data in chunks rather than loading the entire file into memory.
Parsing JSON
Stream-json can parse JSON files of any size by breaking them down into smaller chunks and processing them one by one. This is particularly useful for working with large JSON files that cannot be loaded into memory all at once.
{"_readableState":{"objectMode":true},"readable":true,"_events":{},"_eventsCount":1}Stringifying JSON
The package can also stringify large JSON objects by converting them into a stream of data. This allows for efficient writing of JSON data to a file or over the network.
{"_readableState":{"objectMode":true},"readable":true,"_events":{},"_eventsCount":1}Filters and Transforms
Stream-json provides filters and transformation tools to selectively process and modify JSON data as it is being streamed. This can be used to extract or transform specific parts of the JSON data without having to manipulate the entire dataset.
{"_readableState":{"objectMode":true},"readable":true,"_events":{},"_eventsCount":1}JSONStream is a package similar to stream-json that offers streaming JSON.parse and stringify. It is widely used and has a simple API, but stream-json provides a more modular approach with plugins and a richer set of features for filtering and transforming data.
big-json provides similar functionality for parsing and stringify large JSON files. It uses a streaming approach to handle large files, but stream-json has a more comprehensive set of tools for dealing with streams and allows for more complex processing pipelines.
stream-json is a collection of node.js stream components for creating custom standard-compliant JSON processors, which requires a minimal memory footprint. It can parse JSON files far exceeding available memory. Even individual primitive data items (keys, strings, and numbers) can be streamed piece-wise. Streaming SAX-inspired event-based API is included as well.
Available components:
Parser is manually implemented based on RegExp.AltParser implemented manually without regular expressions.ClassicParser based on parser-toolkit.Streamer, which converts tokens into SAX-like event stream.Packer, which can assemble numbers, strings, and object keys from individual chunks. It is useful, when user knows that individual data items can fit the available memory. Overall, it makes the API simpler.Combo, which actually packs Parser, Streamer, and Packer together. Its advantage over individual components is speed.Filter, which is a flexible tool to select only important sub-objects using either a regular expression, or a function.Emitter, which converts an event stream into events by bridging stream.Writable with EventEmitter.Source, which is a helper that connects streams using pipe() and converts an event stream on the end of pipe into events, similar to Emitter.Assembler to assemble full objects from an event stream.Stringer to convert an event stream back to a JSON text stream.StreamArray handles a frequent use case: a huge array of relatively small objects similar to Django-produced database dumps. It streams array components individually taking care of assembling them automatically.StreamFilteredArray is a companion for StreamArray. The difference is that it allows to filter out unneeded objects in an efficient way without assembling them fully.FilterObjects filters complete objects and primitives.StreamObject streams an object's key-value pairs individually taking care of assembling them automatically. Modeled after StreamArray.StreamJsonObjects supports JSON Streaming protocol, where individual values are separated statically (like in "{}[]"), or with whitespaces (like in "true 1 null"). Modeled after StreamArray.Additionally a helper function is available in the main file, which creates a Source object with a default set of stream components.
This toolkit is distributed under New BSD license.
See the full documentation below.
The simplest example (streaming from a file):
var makeSource = require("stream-json");
var source = makeSource();
var fs = require("fs");
var objectCounter = 0;
source.on("startObject", function(){ ++objectCounter; });
source.on("end", function(){
console.log("Found ", objectCounter, " objects.");
});
fs.createReadStream("sample.json").pipe(source.input);
npm install stream-json
This is the workhorse of the package. It is a Transform stream, which consumes text, and produces a stream of tokens. It is always the first in a pipe chain being directly fed with a text from a file, a socket, the standard input, or any other text stream. Its Writeable part operates in a buffer mode, while its Readable part operates in an objectMode.
var Parser = require("stream-json/Parser");
var parser = new Parser(options);
// Example of use:
var next = fs.createReadStream(fname).pipe(parser);
options can contain some technical parameters, and it rarely needs to be specified. You can find it thoroughly documented in node.js' Stream documentation. Additionally it recognizes following properties:
jsonStreaming can be true or false (the default). If true, it can parse a stream of JSON objects as described in JSON Streaming as "Concatenated JSON". Technically it will recognize "Line delimited JSON" as well.The test files for Parser: tests/test_parser.js, tests\manual\test_parser.js. Actually all test files in tests/ use Parser.
If you want to catch parsing errors, attach an error listener directly to a parser component — unlike data errors do not travel through stream pipes.
Streamer is a Transform stream, which consumes a stream of tokens, and produces a stream of events. It is always the second in a pipe chain after the Parser. It knows JSON semantics and produces actionable events. It operates in an objectMode.
var Streamer = require("stream-json/Streamer");
var streamer = new Streamer(options);
// Example of use:
var next = fs.createReadStream(fname).
pipe(parser).pipe(streamer);
options can contain some technical parameters, and it is rarely needs to be specified. You can find it thoroughly documented in node.js' Stream documentation.
Following is a list of all event objects produced by Streamer:
{name: "startObject"};
{name: "endObject"};
{name: "startArray"};
{name: "endArray"};
{name: "startKey"};
{name: "stringChunk", value: "actual string value"};
{name: "endKey"};
{name: "startString"};
{name: "stringChunk", value: "actual string value"};
{name: "endString"};
{name: "startNumber"};
{name: "numberChunk", value: "actual string value"};
{name: "endNumber"};
{name: "nullValue", value: null};
{name: "trueValue", value: true};
{name: "falseValue", value: false};
The event stream is well-formed:
startXXX are balanced with endXXX.startKey and endKey can be zero or more stringChunk events. No other event are allowed.startString and endString can be zero or more stringChunk events. No other event are allowed.startNumber and endNumber can be one or more numberChunk events. No other event are allowed.
startObject optional key-value pairs emitted in a strict pattern: a key-related events, a value, and this cycle can be continued until all key-value pairs are streamed.The test files for Streamer: tests/test_streamer.js and tests/manual/test_streamer.js.
Packer is a Transform stream, which passes through a stream of events, optionally assembles keys, strings, and/or numbers from chunks, and adds new events with assembled values. It is a companion for Streamer, which frees users from implementing the assembling logic, when it is known that keys, strings, and/or numbers will fit in the available memory. It operates in an objectMode.
var Packer = require("stream-json/Packer");
var packer = new Packer(options);
// Example of use:
var next = fs.createReadStream(fname).
pipe(parser).pipe(streamer).pipe(packer);
options contains some important parameters, and should be specified. It can contain some technical properties thoroughly documented in node.js' Stream documentation. Additionally it recognizes following properties:
packKeys can be true or false (the default). If true, a key value is returned as a new event:
{name: "keyValue", value: "assembled key value"}
keyValue event always follows endKey.
packStrings can be true or false (the default). If true, a string value is returned as a new event:
{name: "stringValue", value: "assembled string value"}
stringValue event always follows endString.
packNumbers can be true or false (the default). If true, a number value is returned as a new event:
{name: "numberValue", value: "assembled number value"}
numberValue event always follows endNumber.
value of this event is a string, not a number. If user wants to convert it to a number, they can do it themselves. The simplest way to do it (assuming your platform and JavaScript can handle it), is to force it to a number:
var n = +event.value;
The test files for Packer: tests/test_packer.js and tests/manual/test_packer.js.
Combo is a Transform stream, which combines Parser, Streamer, and Packer. It accepts the same extra options as Parser and Packer, and produces a stream of objects expected from Streamer, and augmented by Packer. Please refer to the documentation of those three components for more details.
While logically Combo is a combination of three existing components, it has an important advantage: speed. The codes for Parser, Streamer, and Packer are merged together in one component avoiding overhead of node.js streams completely, which is significant. It is recommended to use Combo over a chain of Parser + Streamer, or Parser + Streamer + Packer.
The test file for Combo: tests/test_combo.js.
Emitter is a Writeable stream, which consumes a stream of events, and emits them on itself (all streams are instances of EventEmitter). The standard finish event is used to indicate the end of a stream. It operates in an objectMode.
var Emitter = require("stream-json/Emitter");
var emitter = new Emitter(options);
// Example of use:
emitter.on("startArray", function(){
console.log("array!");
});
emitter.on("numberValue", function(value){
console.log("number:", value);
});
emitter.on("finish", function(){
console.log("done");
});
fs.createReadStream(fname).
pipe(parser).pipe(streamer).pipe(packer).pipe(emitter);
options can contain some technical parameters, and it is rarely needs to be specified. You can find it thoroughly documented in node.js' Stream documentation.
The test file for Emitter: tests/test_emitter.js.
Filter is a Transform stream, which is an advance selector for sub-objects from a stream of events. It operates in an objectMode.
var Filter = require("stream-json/Filter");
var filter = new Filter(options);
// Example of use:
var next = fs.createReadStream(fname).
pipe(parser).pipe(streamer).pipe(filter);
options contains some important parameters, and should be specified. It can contain some technical properties thoroughly documented in node.js' Stream documentation. Additionally it recognizes following properties:
separator is a string to use to separate key and index values forming a path in a current object. By default it is . (a dot).filter can be a regular expression, or a function. By default it allows all events.
Filter object with two parameters:
path, which is an array of current key and index values. All keys are represented as strings, while all array indices are represented as numbers. It can be used to understand what kind of object we are dealing with.event is an event object described above.
The function should return a Boolean value, with true indicating that we are interested in this event, and it should be passed through.path is joined be a separator and tested against the regular expression. If a match was found, it indicates that the event should be passed through. Otherwise it will be rejected.defaultValue is an array of event objects described above, which substitute skipped array items. By default it is [{name: "nullValue", value: null}] — a null value.
filter can skip some array items. If it happens, defaultValue events are going to be inserted for every previously skipped item.
defaultValue. A truncated array will be issued.startXXX and endXXX should be properly balanced.Filter produces a well-formed event stream.
The test files for Filter: tests/test_filter.js and tests/manual/test_filter.js.
Given a JSON object:
{"a": [true, false, 0, null]}
The path of false as an array:
["a", 1]
The same path converted to a string joined by a default separator .:
"a.1"
The top element of a stack can be true or false. The former means that an object was open, but no keys were processed. The latter means that an array was open, but no items were processed. Both values can be present in an array path, but not in a string path.
Source is a convenience object. It connects individual streams with pipes, and attaches itself to the end emitting all events on itself (just like Emitter). The standard end event is used to indicate the end of a stream. It is based on EventEmitter.
var Source = require("stream-json/Source");
var source = new Source([parser, streamer, packer]);
// Example of use:
source.on("startArray", function(){
console.log("array!");
});
source.on("numberValue", function(value){
console.log("number:", value);
});
fs.createReadStream(fname).pipe(source.input);
The constructor of Source accepts one mandatory parameter:
streams should be a non-empty array of pipeable streams. At the end the last stream should produce a stream of events.Source exposes three public properties:
streams — an array of streams so you can inspect them individually, if needed. They are connected sequentially in the array order.input — the beginning of a pipeline, which should be used as an input for a JSON stream.output — the end of a pipeline, which can be used to pipe the resulting stream of objects for further processing.The test files for Source: tests/test_source.js and tests/manual/test_source.js.
The main file contains a helper function, which creates a commonly used configuration of streams, and returns a Source object.
var makeSource = require("stream-json");
var source = makeSource(options);
// Example of use:
source.on("startArray", function(){
console.log("array!");
});
source.on("numberValue", function(value){
console.log("number:", value);
});
fs.createReadStream(fname).pipe(source.input);
options can contain some technical parameters, and it is completely optional. You can find it thoroughly documented in node.js' Stream documentation, and here. It is directly passed to Combo, so it will use its custom parameters.
Algorithm:
makeSource() checks if either of packKeys, packStrings, or packNumbers are specified in options.true, a Combo instance is created with options.true, and a Combo is created.Combo is used to create a Source instance.The most common use case is to call makeSource() without parametrs. This scenario assumes that all key, string, and/or number values can be kept in memory, so user can use simplified events keyValue, stringValue, and numberValue.
The test files for makeSource() are tests/test_source.js, tests/manual/test_main.js, and tests/manual/test_chunk.js.
It is a drop-in replacement for Parser, but it can emit whitespace, and token position information, yet it is slower than the main parser. It was the main parser for 0.1.x versions.
It doesn't support jsonStreaming option.
The test file for ClassicParser: tests/test_classic.js.
It is another drop-in replacement for Parser. Just like ClassicParser it can emit whitespace, and token position information, but can be slower than the current main parser on platforms with optimized RegExp implementation. It is faster than Parser on node.js 0.10.
In general, its speed depends heavily on the implementation of regular expressions by node.js. When node.js has switched from an interpreted regular expressions, to the JIT compiled ones, both ClassicParser, and Parser got a nice performance boost. Yet, even the latest (as of 0.12) JIT compiler uses a simple yet non-linear algorithm to implement regular expressions instead of NFA and/or DFA. Future enhancements to node.js would make RegExp-based parsers faster, potentially overtaking manually written JavaScript-only implementations.
It doesn't support jsonStreaming option.
The test file for AltParser: tests/test_alternative.js.
A helper class to convert a JSON stream to a fully assembled JS object. It can be used to assemble sub-objects.
var makeSource = require("stream-json");
var Assembler = require("stream-json/utils/Assembler");
var source = makeSource(options),
assembler = new Assembler();
// Example of use:
source.output.on("data", function(chunk){
assembler[chunk.name] && assembler[chunk.name](chunk.value);
});
source.output.on("end", function(){
// here is our fully assembled object:
console.log(assembler.current);
});
fs.createReadStream(fname).pipe(source.input);
Assembler is a simple state machine with an explicit stack. It exposes three properties:
current — an object we are working with at the moment. It can be either an object or an array.
null.null, true, false, a number, or a string), it will be placed in current too.key — is a key value (a string) for a currently processed value, or null, if not expected.
current is an object, a primitive value will be added directly to it using a current value of key.
key is assigned null to prevent memory leaks.current is an array, a primitive value will be added directly to it by push().stack — an array of parent objects.
stack always grows/shrinks by two items: a value of current and a value of key.current object and key are saved to stack.Obviously Assembler should be used only when you are sure that the result will fit into memory. It automatically means that all primitive values (strings or numbers) are small enough to fit in memory too. As such Assembler is meant to be used after Packer, which reconstructs keys, strings, and numbers from possible chunks.
On the other hand, we use stream-json when JSON streams are big, and JSON.parse() is not an option. But we use Assembler to assemble sub-objects. One way to do it is to start directing calls to Assembler when we already selected a sub-object with Filter. Another way is shown in StreamArray.
The test file for Assembler: tests/test_assembler.js.
This stream component converts an event stream (described in this document) back to a JSON text stream. The common use is to filter/transform an input stream, then pipe it back to the original text form.
Its Writeable part operates in an objectMode, while its Readable part operates in a buffer mode.
var makeSource = require("stream-json");
var Filter = require("stream-json/Filter");
var Stringer = require("stream-json/utils/Stringer");
var source = makeSource(sourceOptions),
filter = new Filter(filterOptions),
stringer = new Stringer();
// Example of use:
source.output.pipe(filter).pipe(stringer).pipe(fs.createWriteStream(oname));
fs.createReadStream(fname).pipe(source.input);
The test file for Stringer: tests/test_stringer.js.
This utility deals with a frequent use case: our JSON is an array of various sub-objects. The assumption is that while individual array items fit in memory, the array itself does not. Such files are frequently produced by various database dump utilities, e.g., Django's dumpdata.
It is a Transform stream, which operates in an objectMode.
StreamArray produces a stream of objects in following format:
{index, value}
Where index is a numeric index in the array starting from 0, and value is a corresponding value. All objects are produced strictly sequentially.
var StreamArray = require("stream-json/utils/StreamArray");
var stream = StreamArray.make();
// Example of use:
stream.output.on("data", function(object){
console.log(object.index, object.value);
});
stream.output.on("end", function(){
console.log("done");
});
fs.createReadStream(fname).pipe(stream.input);
StreamArray is a constructor, which optionally takes one object: options. options can contain some technical parameters, and it is rarely needs to be specified. You can find it thoroughly documented in node.js' Stream documentation.
Directly on StreamArray there is a class-level helper function make(), which helps to construct a proper pipeline. It is similar to makeSource() and takes the same argument options. Internally it creates and connects Combo and StreamArray, and returns an object with three properties:
streams — an array of streams so you can inspect them individually, if needed. They are connected sequentially in the array order.input — the beginning of a pipeline, which should be used as an input for a JSON stream.output — the end of a pipeline, which can be used for events, or to pipe the resulting stream of objects for further processing.The test file for StreamArray: tests/test_array.js.
Similar to StreamArray, except that instead of breaking an array into its elements it breaks an object into key/value pairs. Each pair has two properties: key and value.
Like StreamArray, StreamObject is both a constructor and has a static make() function for common use cases.
var StreamObject = require("stream-json/utils/StreamObject");
var stream = StreamObject.make();
// Example of use:
stream.output.on("data", function(object){
console.log(object.key, object.value);
});
stream.output.on("end", function(){
console.log("done");
});
fs.createReadStream(fname).pipe(stream.input);
See the StreamArray documentation for more information.
This utility handles the same use case as StreamArray, but in addition it allows to check the objects as they are being built to reject, or accept them. Rejected objects are not assembled, and filtered out.
It is a Transform stream, which operates in an objectMode.
Just like StreamArray, StreamFilteredArray produces a stream of objects in following format:
{index, value}
Where index is a numeric index in the array starting from 0, and value is a corresponding value. All objects are produced strictly sequentially.
var StreamFilteredArray = require("stream-json/utils/StreamFilteredArray");
function f(assembler){
// test only top-level objects in the array:
if(assembler.stack.length == 2 && assembler.key === null){
// make a decision depending on a boolean property "active":
if(assembler.current.hasOwnProperty("active")){
// "true" to accept, "false" to reject
return assembler.current.active;
}
}
// return undefined to indicate our uncertainty at this moment
}
var stream = StreamFilteredArray.make({objectFilter: f});
// Example of use:
stream.output.on("data", function(object){
console.log(object.index, object.value);
});
stream.output.on("end", function(){
console.log("done");
});
fs.createReadStream(fname).pipe(stream.input);
StreamFilteredArray is a constructor, which optionally takes one object: options. options can contain some technical parameters, which are rarely needs to be specified. You can find it thoroughly documented in node.js' Stream documentation. But additionally it recognizes the following property:
objectFilter is a function, which takes an Assembler instance as its only argument, and may return following values to indicate its decision:
StreamFilteredArray will stop polling our filter function and will assemble the object for future use.false (the exact value) indicates that we should skip this object. StreamFilteredArray will stop polling our filter function, and will stop assembling the object, discarding it completely.StreamFilteredArray will poll our filter function next time the object changes.The default for objectFilter allows passing all objects.
In general objectFilter is called on incomplete objects. It means that if a decision is based on a value of a certain properties, those properties could be unprocessed at that moment. In such case it is reasonable to delay a decision by returning a falsy (but not false) value, like undefined.
Complete objects are not submitted to a filter function and accepted automatically. It means that all primitive values: booleans, numbers, strings, null objects are streamed, and not consulted with objectFilter.
If you want to filter out complete objects, including primitive values, use FilterObjects.
StreamFilteredArray instances expose one property:
objectFilter is a function, which us called for every top-level streamable object. It can be replaced with another function at any time. Usually it is replaced between objects after an accept/reject decision is made.Directly on StreamFilteredArray there is a class-level helper function make(), which is an exact clone of StreamArray.make().
The test file for StreamFilteredArray: tests/test_filtered_array.js.
This utility deals with JSON Streaming -- "Concatenated JSON", when values are sent separated syntactically (e.g., "{}[]") or with whitespaces (e.g., "true 1 null"), and "Line delimited JSON". The assumption is that while individual values fit in memory, the stream itself does not.
This helper is modeled after utils/StreamArray.
It is a Transform stream, which operates in objectMode.
StreamJsonObjects produces a stream of objects in following format:
{index, value}
Where index is a numeric (artificial) index in the stream starting from 0, and value is a corresponding value. All objects are produced strictly sequentially.
var StreamJsonObjects = require("stream-json/utils/StreamJsonObjects");
var stream = StreamJsonObjects.make();
// Example of use:
stream.output.on("data", function(object){
console.log(object.index, object.value);
});
stream.output.on("end", function(){
console.log("done");
});
fs.createReadStream(fname).pipe(stream.input);
StreamJsonObjects is a constructor, which optionally takes one object: options. options can contain some technical parameters, and it is rarely needs to be specified. You can find it thoroughly documented in node.js' Stream documentation.
Directly on StreamJsonObjects there is a class-level helper function make(), which helps to construct a proper pipeline. It is similar to makeSource() and takes the same argument options. Internally it creates and connects Combo and StreamArray, and returns an object with three properties:
streams — an array of streams so you can inspect them individually, if needed. They are connected sequentially in the array order.input — the beginning of a pipeline, which should be used as an input for a JSON stream.output — the end of a pipeline, which can be used for events, or to pipe the resulting stream of objects for further processing.The test file for StreamJsonObjects: tests/test_json_stream.js.
This utility filters out complete objects (and primitive values) working with a stream in the same format as StreamArray and StreamFilteredArray:
{index, value}
Where index is a numeric index in the array starting from 0, and value is a corresponding value. All objects are produced strictly sequentially.
It is a Transform stream, which operates in an objectMode.
var StreamArray = require("stream-json/utils/StreamArray");
var FilterObjects = require("stream-json/utils/FilterObjects");
function f(item){
// accept all odd-indexed items, which are:
// true objects, but not arrays, or nulls
if(item.index % 2 && item.value &&
typeof item.value == "object" &&
!(item.value instanceof Array)){
return true;
}
return false;
}
var stream = StreamArray.make(),
filter = new FilterObjects({itemFilter: f});
// Example of use:
filter.on("data", function(object){
console.log(object.index, object.value);
});
filter.on("end", function(){
console.log("done");
});
fs.createReadStream(fname).pipe(stream.input).pipe(filter);
FilterObjects is a constructor, which optionally takes one object: options. options can contain some technical parameters, which are rarely needs to be specified. You can find it thoroughly documented in node.js' Stream documentation. But additionally it recognizes the following property:
itemFilter is a function, which takes a {index, value} object as its only argument, and may return following values to indicate its decision:
The default for itemFilter accepts all objects.
FilterObjects instances expose one property:
itemFilter is a function, which us called for every top-level streamable object. It can be replaced with another function at any time.The test file for FilterObjects: tests/test_filter_objects.js.
The whole library is organized as a set of small components, which can be combined to produce the most effective pipeline. All components are based on node.js streams, and events. They implement all required standard APIs. It is easy to add your own components to solve your unique tasks.
The code of all components are compact and simple. Please take a look at their source code to see how things are implemented, so you can produce your own components in no time.
Obviously, if a bug is found, or a way to simplify existing components, or new generic components are created, which can be reused in a variety of projects, don't hesitate to open a ticket, and/or create a pull request.
stream-json does not decode utf-8 relying on Node to do it correctly. Apparently in some cases Node can fail to decode multi-byte characters correctly, when they are split between different buffers. If you encounter that problem (I did not see it in the wild yet), you can solve it by piping an input stream through a sanitizer before sending it to stream-json parser. These two packages look promising, and appear to be doing the right thing:
The test file tests/sample.json.gz is a combination of several publicly available datasets merged and compressed with gzip:
Parser, AltParser, and ClassicParser produce a stream of tokens cortesy of parser-toolkit. While normally user should use Streamer to convert them to a much simpler JSON-aware event stream, or use Combo directly, in some cases it can be advantageous to deal with raw tokens.
Each token is an object with following properties:
id is a string, which uniquely identifies a token.value is a string, which corresponds to this token, and was actually matched.line is a line number, where this token was found. All lines are counted from 1.pos is a position number inside a line (in characters, so \t is one character). Position is counted from 1.Warning: Parser does not incliude line and pos in its tokens.
JSON grammar is defined in Grammar.js. It is taken almost verbatim from JSON.org.
Following tokens are produced (listed by id):
ws: white spaces, usually ignored. (Not produced by Parser.)-: a unary negation used in a negative number either to start a number, or as an exponent sign.+: used as an exponent sign.0: zero, as is - '0'.nonZero: non-zero digit - /[1-9]/..: a decimal point used in a number.exponent: 'e' or 'E' as an exponent symbol in a number written in scientific notation.numericChunk: a string of digits.": a double quote, used to open and close a string.plainChunk: a string of non-escaped characters, used inside a string.escapedChars: an escaped character, used inside a string.true: represents a literal true.false: represents a literal false.null: represents a literal null.{: starts an object literal.}: closes an object literal.[: starts an array literal.]: closes an array literal.,: separates components of an array, or an object.:: separates a key and its value in an object literal.Filter.StreamObject by Sam Noedel.FAQs
