I'd like to read multiple JSON objects from a file/stream in Python, one at a time. Unfortunately json.load() just .read()s until end-of-file; there doesn't seem to be any way to use it to read a single object or to lazily iterate over the objects. Is there any way to do this? Using the standard library would be ideal, but if there's a third-party library I'd use that instead. At the moment I'm putting each object on a separate line and using json.loads(f.readline()), but I would really prefer not to need to do this. Example Use example.py import my_json as json import sys for o in json.iterload(sys.stdin): print("Working on a", type(o)) in.txt {"foo": ["bar", "baz"]} 1 2 [] 4 5 6 example session $ python3.2 example.py < in.txt Working on a dict Working on a int Working on a int Working on a list Working on a int Working on a int Working on a int Continue reading...
