newline-delimited is certainly one simple solution, even though the

are any simple solutions that still give you valid JSON, but if there
aren't, I'd rather sacrifice valid JSON (that it's unclear if there's
any important use case for anyway), than sacrifice simplicity.
That's the same question - "does it matter?" - that I had reading this
thread. If you have a ton of records to pack into a file, are the
advantages of sending a json mime type over http and viewing it in a
browser with jsonovich or whatever worth it when it's a really big file
anyway?
Seems that having 3-4 parsers that share the exact same idea of how to
read/write individual records is the main story, and a great step forward.
+1 to y'all for getting this done.
-1 to me for never following through with my half-done pymarc
implementation at c4lc '09 or whenever it was.
