SBJson is an Objective-C framework providing a strict JSON parser and generator with stream/chunk-based operation. It lets you parse JSON incrementally, calling a block per root-level document or array entry as data arrives.

Use cases

• parse JSON incrementally as it downloads over a slow connection
• parse very large JSON documents without loading them fully into memory
• generate JSON from Objective-C objects
• process a stream of multiple JSON documents
• strict JSON parsing in iOS or macOS apps

When to choose

• you are developing in Objective-C for Apple platforms and need streaming/chunked JSON parsing
• you need to parse huge JSON files with low memory usage
• you want to reduce perceived latency by parsing before a download completes

When to avoid

• you are using Swift and prefer native JSONSerialization or Codable
• you need actively developed software with frequent updates
• you need non-strict or lenient JSON parsing
