Jackson JSON 到流解析器

Question

I would like to process response from HttpRequest (JSON object) as stream. That's mean filter only data field which interest me and return it as a stream and process it further (send as HttpServletResponse). I don't want to load it to memory as the response.body() might be huge (1 000 000+ lines). Unfortunately I don't see any method on JsonParser class that would return stream.

HttpResponse<InputStream> response = client.send(httpRequest, BodyHandlers.ofInputStream());
InputStream result = response.body();
JsonFactory factory = new JsonFactory();
try(JsonParser parser = factory.createParser(result)){
  while (parser.nextToken() != JsonToken.END_OBJECT) {
    if ("data".equals(parser.getCurrentName())) {
      parser.getValueAsString(); // it returns correct lines but as String
    }
  }
}

Does anybody know how to handle it? Or maybe I should use some other library/API?

Answer 1

You already process the input data as a stream, so it can easily be written to another stream like an HttpServletResponse .

Get the outputstream you want to transfer the data to:

ServletOutputStream out = httpServletResponse.getOutputStream();

And for each data string, write the value to the new stream:

while ... {
    if ("data".equals(parser.getCurrentName())) {
        String data = parser.getValueAsString();
        out.write(data.getBytes("UTF-8"));
    }
}
