Control buffer size

[acrisci]

I have an application that reads a continuous stream of json data from a process as an infinite array. I need to read an object out of this array about once per second. Each object is about 200 characters long.

The current buffer size is 16 * 1024. This means that I don't get events until the buffer is full, which takes a very long time. I need to make the buffer size very small for my application to work correctly.

I would like to add a kwarg to ijson.parse() to control the buffer size.

That is a very interesting usecase indeed. Could you make a patch for this? Should be pretty straightforward…

Looking through the code, I found I could already do this with the yajl backend.

@jmarshall9120 here is the use case I was referring to in the issue.
