parse-ndjson v0.0.1

parse-ndjson

This is a small, lightweight module utilizing fs.createReadStream and split2 to read in a newline-delimited JSON file, parse each line, and populate a Javascript array with JSON objects.

##Usage

parse-ndjson can be installed via npm: npm install --save parse-ndjson

Example usage:

var parseNDJSON = require('parse-ndjson');
var pathToFile = "./path/to/file.txt";

parseNDJSON(pathToFile, function(err, parsedLines){

  if(!err){
  
    //process parsedLines, an array of parsed NDJSON objects
    
  }else{
  
    //handle err
    
  }
  
});

Using parseNDJSON(pathToFile, callback); provides async capability in line with fs.createReadStream, and callback(err, parsedLines); provides a method to handling errors in the path or readStream and allows user-defined interaction with an array of JSON objects parsed from the file.
