Streaming responses return invalid JSON #308

Open alechenninger opened 6 years ago

The response contains multiple JSON objects, but they are not wrapped in an array

That's how it was designed. If they were in an array, there was no way to parse it without reading it all. If there is an incremental parser that can parse it without reading everything first, we can change that.

Jackson has a streaming parser, which you can parse JSON token-by-token (or in this case, parse the array start then each object separately). Do you know if we tried this? If it doesn't work I'd be curious to learn why.
