Overview

This class contains methods for parsing JSON directly from an IO object. The only basic requirment currently is that the IO object respond to #read(len) and #eof? The IO is parsed until a complete JSON object has been read and a ruby object will be returned.

Constructor Details

#initialize(*args) ⇒ Object

call-seq: new([:symbolize_keys => true, [:allow_comments => false[, :check_utf8 => false]]])

:symbolize_keys will turn hash keys into Ruby symbols, defaults to false.

:allow_comments will turn on/off the check for comments inside the JSON stream, defaults to true.

:check_utf8 will validate UTF8 characters found in the JSON stream, defaults to true.

.parse(str_or_io, options = {}, read_bufsize = nil, &block) ⇒ Object

A helper method for parse-and-forget use-cases

io is the stream to parse JSON from

The options hash allows you to set two parsing options - :allow_comments and :check_utf8

:allow_comments accepts a boolean will enable/disable checks for in-line comments in the JSON stream

:check_utf8 accepts a boolean will enable/disable UTF8 validation for the JSON stream

end

Instance Method Details

#<<(chunk) ⇒ Object

call-seq: parse_chunk(string_chunk)

string_chunk can be a partial or full JSON string to push on the parser.

This method will throw an exception if the on_parse_complete callback hasn’t been assigned yet. The on_parse_complete callback assignment is required so the user can handle objects that have been parsed off the stream as they’re found.

}

#on_parse_complete=(callback) ⇒ Object

call-seq: on_parse_complete = Proc.new { |obj| … }

This callback setter allows you to pass a Proc/lambda or any other object that responds to #call.

It will pass a single parameter, the ruby object built from the last parsed JSON object

    return Qnil;
}

#parse(*args) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

parse(input, buffer_size=8092)
parse(input, buffer_size=8092) { |obj| ... }

input can either be a string or an IO to parse JSON from

buffer_size is the size of chunk that will be parsed off the input (if it’s an IO) for each loop of the parsing process. 8092 is a good balance between the different types of streams (off disk, off a socket, etc…), but this option is here so the caller can better tune their parsing depending on the type of stream being passed. A larger read buffer will perform better for files off disk, where as a smaller size may be more efficient for reading off of a socket directly.

If a block was passed, it’s called when an object has been parsed off the stream. This is especially usefull when parsing a stream of multiple JSON objects.

NOTE: you can optionally assign the on_parse_complete callback, and it will be called the same way the optional block is for this method.
