A chunk-based JSON parser and generator for Objective-C, enabling stream processing of JSON data.
SBJson is a JSON parsing and generation framework for Objective-C that processes data in chunks or streams. It solves the problem of high memory usage and latency when handling large JSON documents or slow network connections by allowing incremental parsing. Developers can start processing and returning parsed results before the entire JSON payload has been fully downloaded.
iOS and macOS developers working with JSON APIs, especially those dealing with large datasets, real-time data feeds, or constrained memory environments.
SBJson offers unique stream-based parsing that reduces memory overhead and improves perceived performance. Its ability to handle multiple JSON documents sequentially and unwrap large arrays element-by-element makes it ideal for efficient data processing in Objective-C applications.
This framework implements a strict JSON parser and generator in Objective-C.

Parses JSON incrementally, reducing memory overhead for large documents or slow networks, as demonstrated in the chunk-based parsing examples.
Enables parsing to start before full download, decreasing latency for streaming data like Twitter feeds, with support for multiple document handling.
Allows parsing consecutive JSON documents and unwrapping large arrays individually, facilitating efficient batch processing without loading entire structures.
Configurable maximum nesting levels prevent stack overflows from malicious or malformed input, enhancing application security.
Multiple major versions can be installed side-by-side in the same app without conflicts, easing migration and dependency management.
Project status is marked as inactive, meaning no active development or new features, only maintenance as time allows, which could limit long-term viability.
Partial results may be returned before encountering errors in later data chunks, as warned in the README, compromising data integrity in error-prone scenarios.
Lacks native Swift integration or modern features like Codable support, making it less ideal for Swift-only projects or those leveraging Swift's JSON handling capabilities.
