*There seem to be a growing number of tools & packages around that
implement some form of JSON streaming where multiple standard JSON objects
are delimited by extra newlines, e.g.
*
*{ "id": 1, "foo": "bar" }*
*{ "id": 2, "foo": "baz" }*
*...*
**
*
This format seems both pragmatic and useful, but is not JSON compliant
(i.e. doesn't parse with a standard JSON parser), so it seems inappropriate
to serve up as "application/json".
Request-JSONStream<https://github.com/smurthas/Request-JSONStream>uses
"application/jsonstream", Google searching shows at least one use of
"application/x-json-stream", and there are a number of services that use
"application/json" and expect clients to just deal with it (cf.
https://github.com/senchalabs/connect/issues/538).
Since I'm about to make heavy use of this technique in a way that will be a
little difficult to unwind later I'd like if at all possible get on board
with whatever will become the standard (defacto or official). Anyone aware
of any efforts underway to standardize this, or packages/services that have
enough momentum to drive a standard in the future?
