Implement lazy JSON parsing
I'm pretty sure this is possible, and I'm totally going to do it.
Alternately, if somebody else wants to implement it, I would gladly give you push access.
That's the idea!
That said, it will take a while for me to implement this. It would be naive of me to think I could just bang out a JSON parser in a few days, having next to zero experience doing anything like that. However, I do think Lazy.js provides exactly the right framework for doing this (parsing a JSON array as a Lazy.Sequence, or an object as a Lazy.ObjectLikeSequence) and so it is a definite "will-do" as opposed to a "might-do" :)
@hden: No updates, sadly. I choose to blame this on my new baby daughter, who was just born a few weeks ago. If you want to take a crack at it, be my guest! However, I am about to do a bit of work on Lazy right now; so who knows—maybe I'll make a little progress on this very issue. Rest assured I will update this ticket if/when there's any more to report.
Well, it's still a work in progress and only works with JSON arrays, but a proof-of-concept demo is now available:
