JSON equivalent to YAML streams?

Ruby

Is there any such thing as a JSON stream equivalent to YAML document
streams?

If not, how might such be accomplished?

What CouchDB does for its continuous changes feed is just to send one
JSON document per line, with a newline terminator. Then you can do:

while line = gets
data = JSON.parse(line)
… do something with data
end

Of course this means that the JSON you send must not be pretty-printed,
and also any embedded newlines within strings are encoded as \n, which
the JSON spec allows.

HTH,

Awesome. That should work for my case too. If I need the data pretty
printed I use YAML anyway.

Thanks Brian.
