json-pull

A streaming JSON pull parser in C.

Does the world really need another JSON parser? Maybe not. But what distinguishes this one is the desire to let you read through gigantic files larger than you can comfortably fit in memory and still find the parts you need.

Setup

You can create a json_pull parser object by calling json_begin_file() to begin reading from a file or json_begin_string() to begin reading from a string.

You can also read from anything you want by calling json_begin() with your own read() and peek() functions that return or preview, respectively, the next UTF-8 byte from your input stream.
