Parse JSON that's smushed together
Imagine you have a TCP server that clients are sending JSON to. At fast paces, you can't know if the end of the message is actually the end of the JSON object.
Instead of searching for a delimiter or control character, why not continually parse it?
npm install knife
var knife = require('knife');
var testObj = {
lol: 'wut'
}
var goodJSON = JSON.stringify(testObj),
badJSON = goodJSON + goodJSON;
console.log([
knife.parse(goodJSON),
knife.parse(badJSON)
]);
will always return
{
results: [ {}, {}, ... ],
remainder: ''
}
