Support question - This module works too good for its own good #137

I installed this thing and it's working for me. Specifically using it to pipe socket data

const client = net.createConnection(function(){
});

client.pipe(JSONStream()).on('data', d => {});

however, my question is - what is the purpose of this module - is it just a wrapper around the jsonparse package? Should I be using that one instead?

Sorry for the support question, but sometimes it's hard to figure out what the best module there is to use.

jsonpase does the parsing, but JSONStream gives you a more friendly interface. (allowing you to specify the path into the JSON structure) with jsonparse your one line of code will not be just one line anymore
