Concatenated JSON Streaming

Noggit can also handle multiple JSON values streamed over a single connection and simply catenated together. Primitive values should of course be separated by whitespace to avoid ambiguity.

{first_object:10}

['another array object']['yet another object']

{more:objects}{another:object}

['who knows how many json values will be streamed by the writer...']

"is this the end?"

It's also possible to use a single connection for several Requests/Responses without an additional encoding. Then, (a) a streaming JSON-decoder or (b) a streaming JSON-splitter is needed, which detects the end of a JSON-object/array. Then, several JSON-RPC Requests can simply be pipelined on a single connection.

Streaming JSON-decoders seem to be rare, but a JSON-splitter which only detects the end of a JSON-object/array can easily be implemented (see below).

high-performance servers MAY allow several concatenated JSON-RPC Requests in a single HTTP message by using e.g. a JSON-splitter, and MAY then return concatenated Responses.

Kite can read JSON files that contain concatenated or whitespace-separated JSON objects that conform to the JSON specification.

This Catmandu::Exporter exports items serialized in JSON format. By default each item is printed condensed on one line.

array

Seralize items as one JSON array instead of concatenated JSON objects.

multiline switches optionally between line-delimited JSON and multiline JSON or arrays. the default is line-delimited JSON.
