stream- is a micro-library of composable stream components for parsing, filtering, and transforming JSON and JSONC with a minimal memory footprint. It uses a SAX-inspired token API so documents far larger than available memory can be processed one piece at a time on Node.js or Web Streams.

Use cases

• parse huge files larger than memory
• stream array elements one at a time
• filter and pick subobjects from a large document
• convert token streams into javascript objects
• process c files with comments
• build custom processing pipelines with node streams

When to choose

• your documents are too large to load with JSON.parse
• you need constant-memory streaming of selected parts of a document
• you want composable pipeline stages mixing filters, streamers, and custom transforms
• you need a SAX-style event API for tokens

When to avoid

• your files are small enough for JSON.parse
• you need random access to arbitrary parts of a document rather than sequential streaming
• you need a full DOM-style query engine like jq or path
