[erlang-questions] SAX-like JSON Parser for Erlang

[Yash Ganthe]

SAX allows the client application to read an XML piece-by-piece. This is
different than DOM which expects the entire XML to be loaded in memory. SAX
is thus useful for reading very large XML documents.****

** **

Mochijson is a good JSON parser which emits structs that correspond to
individual JSON strings. It however expects the entire JSON string to be
given to its functions.****

If I have about 10000 records in an JSON such as this,****

{ "d" : ****

[****

                {****

                                "ID": 1, "Name": "p1", "Email": "p1@REDACTED"*
***

                }, ****

                {****

                                "ID": 2, "Name": "p2", "Email": "p2@REDACTED"*
***

                }, ****

                {****

                                "ID": 3, "Name": "p3", "Email": "p3@REDACTED"*
***

                }, ****

                {****

                                "ID": 4, "Name": "p4", "Email": "p4@REDACTED"*
***

                } . . . . .****

] }****

the entire JSON string would have to be first obtained and then passed to
mochijson/mochijson2.****

** **

I am looking for a way to let the module give me one record at a time from
the large JSON-formatted array. Is there any module that lets us do this?***
*

Thanks,****
