JSON-streaming-parser-to-db

This is a simple example of using EventEmitters, Streams, json-stream, axios and minter.network for extracting parsing and calculating data on demand and pushing it to the database.

Installation:

git clone https://github.com/sergeyampo/JSON-streaming-parser-to-db/
cd JSON-streaming* && npm i pg stream-json stream-chain axios decimal.js-light config --save-dev
npm start

Configuration:

You should configure json file in a ./config/db.json for correct database connection. For example, it's local PostgreSQL database for me.

What happens:

Isn't it easier to JSON.parse():

No it's not. It's one of the most common mistake in blocking Event Loop in Node by using JSON.parse because it's synchronous function and it wouldn't get into the Worker Pool or in C++ Api's. Every client of the server should be await of parse function to be completed.
