reading Json stream

[pranavs80]

Hello,

I was going through your link https://github.com/dominictarr/JSONStream

I also want to read some post data same way you have given example.

My json stream is as http://190.120.229.112/swimapp/test.txt

i will be posting this stream and wanted to read this in node js code.

can u please help me out.

thanks pranav

Since this stream is so short, you may as well buffer it and then use JSON.parse, JSONStream is only really useful when the json is a long array, but this is too nested.

ok. but this json stream will be posted from some 3rd party site to my node js code. so how do i read that ?

[dominictarr]

this module is popular: this https://github.com/mikeal/request

[dominictarr]

you mean you will retrive the json with an http request?

[pranavs80]

yes. i will be running my node js program on for e.g. http://123.123.123.123:3000

so on this link i must be able to read that request.

Thank u very much..

this is the code below to read http request in node js

var express = require('express'); var app = express();

app.configure(function(){ //app.use(express.static(__dirname + '/public')); app.use(express.bodyParser()); });

app.post('/', function(req, res){ console.log(req.body); }app.listen(8001);

u can post any request to your node js program using SEND HTTP TOOL.
