StartStream uses the source to start producing items and returns a new json stream where these items are produced.

TransformStream applies the transformer to the incoming json stream, returning a new json stream.

a JSON boolean.

the type of JSON null.

a JSON number.

a JSON string.

Elision is not part of the JSON syntax but is used to remove contents from an array or an object but signal to the user that the content has been 'elided'.

EndArray represents the end of a JSON array (introduced by '}') Values of type *EndArray implement the StreamItem interface.

EndObject represents the end of a JSON object (introduced by '}') Values of type *EndObject implement the StreamItem interface.

Scalar is the type used to represent all scalar JSON values, i.e.

StartArray represents the start of a JSON array (introduced by '[').

StartObject represents the start of a JSON object (introduced by '{').

A StreamTransformer can transform a json stream into another.

A Token is an item in a stream that encodes a JSON value For example, the JSON value {"id": 123, "tags": ["important", "new"]} would be represented by the stream of Token (in pseudocode for clarity): { -> StartObject "id": -> Scalar("id", String) 123, -> Scalar(123, Number) "tags": -> Scalar("tags", String) [ -> StartArray "important", -> Scalar("important", String) "new" -> Scalar("new", String) ] -> EndArray } -> EndObject encoded of a JSON input into a stream of Token values, processing of this stream and outputting the outcome can be done concurrently using channels of Token values.

ScalarType encodes the four possible JSON scalar types.
