- jsonriver allows incremental parsing of JSON as it streams in, providing increasingly complete values.
- It is small, fast, dependency-free, and works in any JavaScript environment.
- Example usage involves parsing a stream from a fetch request.
- Values are updated incrementally, e.g., strings grow character by character, arrays append elements, and objects add properties.
- Final parsed value matches JSON.parse's output.
- Built-in JSON.parse is faster but lacks streaming capability.
- Alternatives like stream-json are more feature-rich but slower and more complex.
- Installation and testing commands are provided.
