The JSON-P streaming API


The JSON-P streaming API allows us to read and write JSON data to and from a stream (a subclass of java.io.OutputStream or a subclass of java.io.Writer). The JSON-P streaming API has better performance and better memory efficiency than the JSON-P object model API. These performance and efficiency gains, however, come with some limitations. The JSON-P streaming API only allows JSON data to be read sequentially; we can't access JSON properties directly like we can with the object model API. In general, we should use the streaming API if we need to handle large amount of JSON data; otherwise, the simpler object model API should be used.

In the following sections, we will reimplement the example from the previous section using the JSON-P streaming API.

Note

Since the examples on this section mirror the functionality we implemented in the previous sections, we will not show any screenshots of our sample application in action. They will be identical to the ones we saw earlier...
