Big-sync-json NPM

Big Sync JSON

Overcomes 512MB String limitation of regular JSON.parse() and JSON.stringify() by not stringifying the whole buffer.

Usage Example

const fs = require('fs')
const BSJON = require('big-sync-json')

let jsonBuffer = fs.readFileSync('./big-json.json')

let jsonData = BSJON.parse(jsonBuffer)

let jsonBuffer2 = BSJSON.bufferize(jsonData)

fs.writeFileSync('./big.json.json', jsonBuffer2)

Features

It is a drop-in replacement for JSON.parse()
Does not require you to make any other changes in order to parse bigger JSON files on a project

Issues

Feel free to open issues on Github if you have any problems with the package. Although the package was tested with valid JSON files without any problems, for now, unexpected outputs may occur from non-valid JSON buffers.
