All, Is this an appropriate forum for asking questions about how to use Noggit? The Github doesn't have any discussions available and filing an "issue" to ask a question is kinda silly. I'm happy to be redirected to the right place if this isn't appropriate.
I've been able to figure out most things in Noggit by reading the code, but I have a new use-case where I expect that I'll have very large values (base64-encoded binary) and I'd like to stream those rather than calling parser.getString() and getting a potentially huge string coming back. I'm streaming into a database so I never need the whole string in one place at one time. I was thinking something like this: JSONParser p = ...; int evt = p.nextEvent(); if(JSONParser.STRING == evt) { // Start streaming boolean eos = false; while(!eos) { char c = p.getChar(); if(c == '"') { eos = true; } else { append to stream } } } But getChar() is not public. The only "documentation" I've really been able to find for Noggit is this post from Yonic back in 2014: http://yonik.com/noggit-json-parser/ It mostly says "Noggit is great!" and specifically mentions huge, long strings but does not actually show any Java code to consume the JSON data in any kind of streaming way. The ObjectBuilder class is a great user of JSONParser, but it just builds standard objects and would consume tons of memory in my case. I know for sure that Solr consumes huge JSON documents and I'm assuming that Noggit is being used in that situation, though I have not looked at the code used to do that. Any suggestions? -chris
