@init-kz/jsonparse-ts v1.0.5

JSON Stream Parser (TypeScript Edition)

This is a fully rewritten TypeScript version of the jsonparse library. Originally created by Tim Caswell in 2012, this version modernizes the approach by following OOP principles and introducing additional functionality.

Unlike the original, this version fully supports browser environments and provides enhanced features for better control over JSON parsing.

Features

• Streaming JSON parsing: Handles JSON data in chunks.
• Full browser support: Works both in Node.js and browser environments.
• Improved API: Additional methods for better parsing control.
• Event-driven architecture: Supports event emitters for handling tokens and values.
• Better error handling: Capture parsing errors more efficiently.

Installation

npm install @init-kz/jsonparse-ts

Usage

import { Parser } from '@init-kz/jsonparse-ts';

const parser = new Parser();
parser.write('[{"name": "A');
console.log(parser.getLastIncompleteValue()); // { name: "A" }

parser.write('"}, {"na');
console.log(parser.getLastIncompleteValue()); // { name: "A" }, { }

parser.write('me": "Occaecat aliq');
console.log(parser.getLastIncompleteValue()); // { name: "A" }, { name: "Occaecat aliq" }

parser.write('uip id officia ipsum deserunt ea id labore magna qui elit dolore consectetur dolore.');
console.log(parser.getLastValue()); // Full JSON structure
