JsonParser (Vert.x Stack - Docs 4.5.7 API)

All Superinterfaces:

Handler<Buffer>, ReadStream<JsonEvent>, StreamBase
```
public interface JsonParser
extends Handler<Buffer>, ReadStream<JsonEvent>
```
A parser class which allows to incrementally parse json elements and emit json parse events instead of parsing a json element fully. This parser is convenient for parsing large json structures.
The parser also parses concatenated json streams or line delimited json streams.
The parser can also parse entire object or array when it is convenient, for instance a very large array of small objects can be parsed efficiently by handling array start/end and object events.
Whenever the parser fails to parse or process the stream, the exceptionHandler(Handler) is called with the cause of the failure and the current handling stops. After such event, the parser should not handle data anymore.

Method Summary

All Methods Static Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`JsonParser`	`arrayEventMode()` Flip the parser to emit a stream of events for each new json array.
`JsonParser`	`arrayValueMode()` Flip the parser to emit a single value event for each new json array.
`void`	`end()` End the stream, this must be called after all the json stream has been processed.
`JsonParser`	`endHandler(Handler<Void> endHandler)` Set an end handler.
`JsonParser`	`exceptionHandler(Handler<Throwable> handler)` Set an exception handler on the read stream.
`JsonParser`	`fetch(long amount)` Fetch the specified `amount` of elements.
`JsonParser`	`handler(Handler<JsonEvent> handler)` Set a data handler.
`static JsonParser`	`newParser()` Create a new `JsonParser` instance.
`static JsonParser`	`newParser(ReadStream<Buffer> stream)` Create a new `JsonParser` instance.
`JsonParser`	`objectEventMode()` Flip the parser to emit a stream of events for each new json object.
`JsonParser`	`objectValueMode()` Flip the parser to emit a single value event for each new json object.
`JsonParser`	`pause()` Pause the `ReadStream`, it sets the buffer in `fetch` mode and clears the actual demand.
`JsonParser`	`resume()` Resume reading, and sets the buffer in `flowing` mode.
`JsonParser`	`write(Buffer buffer)` Handle a `Buffer`, pretty much like calling `Handler.handle(Object)`.

- Method Detail
  - newParser
```
static JsonParser newParser()
```
    Create a new JsonParser instance.
  - newParser
```
static JsonParser newParser(ReadStream<Buffer> stream)
```
    Create a new JsonParser instance.
  - write
```
JsonParser write(Buffer buffer)
```
    Handle a Buffer, pretty much like calling Handler.handle(Object).
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
  - end
```
void end()
```
    End the stream, this must be called after all the json stream has been processed.
  - objectEventMode
```
JsonParser objectEventMode()
```
    Flip the parser to emit a stream of events for each new json object.
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
  - objectValueMode
```
JsonParser objectValueMode()
```
    Flip the parser to emit a single value event for each new json object.
    Json object currently streamed won't be affected.
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
  - arrayEventMode
```
JsonParser arrayEventMode()
```
    Flip the parser to emit a stream of events for each new json array.
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
  - arrayValueMode
```
JsonParser arrayValueMode()
```
    Flip the parser to emit a single value event for each new json array.
    Json array currently streamed won't be affected.
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
  - pause
```
JsonParser pause()
```
    Description copied from interface: ReadStream
    
    Pause the ReadStream, it sets the buffer in fetch mode and clears the actual demand.
    While it's paused, no data will be sent to the data handler.
    
    Specified by:
    
    pause in interface ReadStream<JsonEvent>
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
  - resume
```
JsonParser resume()
```
    Description copied from interface: ReadStream
    
    Resume reading, and sets the buffer in flowing mode.
    If the ReadStream has been paused, reading will recommence on it.
    
    Specified by:
    
    resume in interface ReadStream<JsonEvent>
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
  - fetch
```
JsonParser fetch(long amount)
```
    Description copied from interface: ReadStream
    
    Fetch the specified amount of elements. If the ReadStream has been paused, reading will recommence with the specified amount of items, otherwise the specified amount will be added to the current stream demand.
    
    Specified by:
    
    fetch in interface ReadStream<JsonEvent>
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
  - endHandler
```
JsonParser endHandler(Handler<Void> endHandler)
```
    Description copied from interface: ReadStream
    
    Set an end handler. Once the stream has ended, and there is no more data to be read, this handler will be called.
    
    Specified by:
    
    endHandler in interface ReadStream<JsonEvent>
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
  - handler
```
JsonParser handler(Handler<JsonEvent> handler)
```
    Description copied from interface: ReadStream
    
    Set a data handler. As data is read, the handler will be called with the data.
    
    Specified by:
    
    handler in interface ReadStream<JsonEvent>
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
  - exceptionHandler
```
JsonParser exceptionHandler(Handler<Throwable> handler)
```
    Description copied from interface: ReadStream
    
    Set an exception handler on the read stream.
    
    Specified by:
    
    exceptionHandler in interface ReadStream<JsonEvent>
    
    Specified by:
    
    exceptionHandler in interface StreamBase
    
    Parameters:
    
    handler - the exception handler
    
    Returns:
    
    a reference to this, so the API can be used fluently
