incremental-writer

Inc is a library which provides writers to write in different formats to files on disk, currently only JSON is supported. incremental_writer::json::IncrementalJsonWriter provides a writer that takes a File writer and incrementally writes JSON objects to an array inside that file using serde_json.

It implements the write trait's write(&[u8]) and flush() as well as write_json() which takes any serialisable object and writes it to the underlying array.

example:

extern crate incremental_writer;
use incremental_writer::json;
use serde::{Serialize, Deserialize};
    fn main() {
    let rows: Vec<Record> = vec![0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 , 8, 9, 10]
        .iter()
        .map(|num| Record { name: String::from("Test"), detail: *num})
        .collect();
        let out = std::fs::File::create("test.json").unwrap();
        let mut writer = json::IncrementalJsonWriter::new(out);
    for row in rows {
        //the element is written to the file on each iteration
        //if it stops before finishing, the JSON is still valid
        writer.write_json(&row).unwrap();
    }
}
#[derive(Serialize, Deserialize, Debug)]
struct Record { 
    name: String,
    detail: u32
}
