json-buffet is a little tool to help parse streaming json. Directly view and pick only the values you wish to consume.
You need a recent C++ toolchain and CMake to use json-buffet
$ mkdir build && cd build
$ cmake ..
$ cmake --build .
$ cat ../test.json | ./json-buffetJust pipe any json file as input to json-buffet and provide it with the path you are interested in.
$ ./json-buffet
Usage: ./json-buffet /path/to/item/of/interest < /path/to/json
Note: You can use empty path components to represent an element of an array.
eg. item//key/ on { "item": [ {"key": "value1"}, {"key": "value2"} ] } fetches value1 and value2
$ ./json-buffet in_network// < ../tests/test.json

Additional Binaries provided:
- json-chunker: Extracts chunks of objects at the specified path into separate files.
Usage: ./json-chunker[chunksize_threshold=104857600] /path/to/item/of/interest < /path/to/json
Note: You can use empty path components to represent an element of an array.
eg. item//key/ on { "item": [ {"key": "value1"}, {"key": "value2"} ] } creates chunks containing value1 value2
- json-indexer: Processes json files like tests/test.json to print out an CSV index of npi values: , start, length ...
Usage: `curl https://path/to/big_json.json | ./json-indexer > index.db`
You can then use something like: `python ./json-fetcher --db index.db --url http://path/to/big_json.json --key "1111111111"`
Please note that your server needs to support http range requests for json-fetcher to work
Pull requests are welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change.
Please make sure to update tests as appropriate.
- Support Regex paths to allow watching for multiple paths
- Refactor the JsonBuffet code to use iterators instead of callbacks
