Streaming JSON to express

[darkenspirit]

I have oboe pulling out the objects I want from the readstream but I dont know how to pipe it back to res?

app.get('/foo', function(req, res) {
var rstream = oboe(fs.createReadStream("./test");
rstream.node( "{}", function(data) {
if ( data.test != undefined ) {
>>>> now what?

rstream has no method pipe so I cant simple
rstream.pipe(res) at this point.

If i try the example with streaming HTML with JSON service, I get an error saying no engine or extension provided when creating a new view.

I am really not sure how to proceed here

I did a current workaround where it just pushes the object to a new array and on .done event I res the array.

This hits the memory pretty hard but I dont know what else to do to get these objects out.

also how do I drain the stream after it has checked each object? This is the biggest memory drain because I think the .done response has the entire object?

@darkenspirit did you ever figure this out? I'm also curious about piping to res instead of building all of the data in memory.
