I don't know if there's a generally accepted name for it (but see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON_streaming) -- when you're using JSON to pass around large numbers of objects, it's nice to be able to treat the data as "just a bunch of records" that you can process one by one as they arrive rather than having to read a very large array of objects into memory which you then process. These various kinds of "JSON serialization" see a fair amount of use in the wild, including within Solr.
