hw-succinct

Conduits for tokenizing streams.

hw-succinct is a succinct JSON parsing library. It uses succinct data-structures to allow traversal of large JSON strings with minimal memory overhead.

It is currently considered experimental.

For an example, see app/Main.hs

Prerequisites

• Install haskell-stack.
• Install hlint (eg. stack install hlint)

Building

Run the following in the shell:

git clone git@github.com:haskell-works/hw-succinct.git
cd hw-succinct
stack setup
stack build
stack test
stack ghci --ghc-options -XOverloadedStrings \
  --main-is hw-succinct:exe:hw-succinct-example
