Usage

Function as callback:

function processItem(array $item)
{
    is_array($item); //true
    print_r($item);
}

$parser = new \JsonCollectionParser\Parser();
$parser->parse('/path/to/file.json', 'processItem');

Closure as callback:

$items = [];

$parser = new \JsonCollectionParser\Parser();
$parser->parse('/path/to/file.json', function (array $item) use (&$items) {
    $items[] = $item;
});

Static method as callback:

class ItemProcessor {
    public static function process(array $item)
    {
        is_array($item); //true
        print_r($item);
    }
}

$parser = new \JsonCollectionParser\Parser();
$parser->parse('/path/to/file.json', ['ItemProcessor', 'process']);

Instance method as callback:

class ItemProcessor {
    public function process(array $item)
    {
        is_array($item); //true
        print_r($item);
    }
}

$parser = new \JsonCollectionParser\Parser();
$processor = new \ItemProcessor();
$parser->parse('/path/to/file.json', [$processor, 'process']);

Receive items as objects:

function processItem(\stdClass $item)
{
    is_array($item); //false
    is_object($item); //true
    print_r($item);
}

$parser = new \JsonCollectionParser\Parser();
$parser->parseAsObjects('/path/to/file.json', 'processItem');

Receive chunks of items as arrays:

function processChunk(array $chunk)
{
    is_array($chunk);    //true
    count($chunk) === 5; //true

    foreach ($chunk as $item) {
        is_array($item);  //true
        is_object($item); //false
        print_r($item);
    }
}

$parser = new \JsonCollectionParser\Parser();
$parser->chunk('/path/to/file.json', 'processChunk', 5);

Receive chunks of items as objects:

function processChunk(array $chunk)
{
    is_array($chunk);    //true
    count($chunk) === 5; //true

    foreach ($chunk as $item) {
        is_array($item);  //false
        is_object($item); //true
        print_r($item);
    }
}

$parser = new \JsonCollectionParser\Parser();
$parser->chunkAsObjects('/path/to/file.json', 'processChunk', 5);

Pass stream as parser input:

$stream = fopen('/path/to/file.json', 'r');

$parser = new \JsonCollectionParser\Parser();
$parser->parseAsObjects($stream, 'processItem');

Pass PSR-7 MessageInterface as parser input:

use Psr\Http\Message\MessageInterface;

/** @var MessageInterface $resource */
$resource = $httpClient->get('https://httpbin.org/get');

$parser = new \JsonCollectionParser\Parser();
$parser->parseAsObjects($resource, 'processItem');

Pass PSR-7 StreamInterface as parser input:

use Psr\Http\Message\MessageInterface;

/** @var MessageInterface $resource */
$resource = $httpClient->get('https://httpbin.org/get');

$parser = new \JsonCollectionParser\Parser();
$parser->parseAsObjects($resource->getBody(), 'processItem');
