It uses the YAJL C library for performance and provides a Python iterator interface. You specify a path pattern (using tuples of keys, array indices, or None as wildcards) and the parser yields matching objects as complete Python objects.\n\nThe package is designed for processing very large JSON files or continuous streams where memory efficiency matters. It supports multiple path modes to return just the objects, map keys alongside objects, or full path information. It has no runtime dependencies beyond the compiled C extension, making it lightweight once installed.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to parse large JSON files or streams and your system has YAJL development headers available. The memory efficiency and speed justify the compilation overhead for that use case. No if you work with small JSON documents, prefer pure-Python solutions, or cannot manage C extension builds\u2014the project is abandoned and may have compatibility issues on newer systems."},"id":"jsonslicer","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jsonslicer","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/jsonslicer.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/jsonslicer/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2022-10-25","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"jsonslicer","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Stream JSON parser with iterator interface"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":315445,"position":7685,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.1.8"}
