Usage

Function as callback:

function processItem(array $item)
{
    is_array($item); //true
    print_r($item);
}

$parser = new \JsonCollectionParser\Parser();
$parser->parse('/path/to/file.json', 'processItem');

Closure as callback:

$items = [];

$parser = new \JsonCollectionParser\Parser();
$parser->parse('/path/to/file.json', function (array $item) use (&$items) {
    $items[] = $item;
});

Static method as callback:

class ItemProcessor {
    public static function process(array $item)
    {
        is_array($item); //true
        print_r($item);
    }
}

$parser = new \JsonCollectionParser\Parser();
$parser->parse('/path/to/file.json', ['ItemProcessor', 'process']);

Instance method as callback:

class ItemProcessor {
    public function process(array $item)
    {
        is_array($item); //true
        print_r($item);
    }
}

$parser = new \JsonCollectionParser\Parser();
$processor = new \ItemProcessor();
$parser->parse('/path/to/file.json', [$processor, 'process']);

Receive items as objects:

function processItem(\stdClass $item)
{
    is_array($item); //false
    is_object($item); //true
    print_r($item);
}

$parser = new \JsonCollectionParser\Parser();
$parser->parseAsObjects('/path/to/file.json', 'processItem');

Pass stream as parser input:

$stream = fopen('/path/to/file.json', 'r');

$parser = new \JsonCollectionParser\Parser();
$parser->parseAsObjects($stream, 'processItem');

Supported file formats

• .json - raw JSON format
• .gz - GZIP-compressed file (you will need zlib PHP extension installed)
