Oboe.js is an open source Javascript library for loading JSON using streaming, combining the convenience of DOM with the speed and fluidity of SAX.
It can parse any JSON as a stream, is small enough to be a micro-library, doesn’t have external dependencies, and doesn’t care which other libraries you need it to speak to.

- If you’re in for the long haul, my MSc dissertation was written on this subject (PDF, 64 pages plus appendices)
Other tools
- For writing JSON streams from a Java server to an Oboe.js front-end try GSON
- If you need an even more lightweight JSON stream library and don’t mind writing rather more code, try Clarinet (In fact, Oboe is built on Clarinet)
