janeklb\\json\\JSONCharInputReader
==================================

[](#janeklbjsonjsoncharinputreader)

This is a stream reader used to process JSON data character-by-character and execute callbacks after parsing complete chunks.

The data stream must be in the form of a JSON array. ie. `[1, 2, [3, 4], {"five": "six"}, ...`

Example
=======

[](#example)

To get a feel for it, run the following in your terminal:

```
$ cat | php example/example.php
```

\[Terminate with CTRL^D or CTRL^C\]

Testing
=======

[](#testing)

Install composer with dev dependencies `composer install --dev` and run

```
$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit test/
```

Todo
====

[](#todo)

- fire callbacks on deeper nested values, rather than "top level" entries in the stream array
