On the writable end, I push a `JSON.stringify`d object. On the other reader end, can I expect `chunk` to be `JSON.parse` -able?
When running the code below, it seems like it. Like, it works and I can't logically make sense of it. I would expect that if not in objectMode, the reader will need to buffer things until some sentinel pattern is found which will tell me it's safe to call JSON.parse. Could someone shed some light on why this works and if I can rely on this in practice? ``` var Readable = require('stream').Readable; var Transform = require('stream').Transform printer = new Transform() printer._transform = function (chunk, enc, next) { console.log(JSON.parse(chunk)) // <- safe to assume I can JSON.parse this? this.push(chunk) next() } var rs = new Readable rs.push(JSON.stringify({foo: 'bar'})) rs.push(JSON.stringify({foo: 'bar'})) rs.push(JSON.stringify({foo: 'bar'})) rs.push(null) rs.pipe(printer) ``` -- -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
