Description
Hi,
I am dealing with very large objects and potentially large arrays of stuff. I'm not sure if I can tell from start_object or end_object the name of the object that was being parsed. For instance, if start_object told me the name I could choose to ignore that name (by passing a dummy dictionary) rather than loading it into memory.
Take this for example:
{
"hello": "world",
"obj": {
"obj_val": "first_obj_val",
"obj_val2": "second_obj_val",
"obj_val3": 3
},
"arr": [
2, 4, 6, 8
]
}
I only get callbacks on start of the object (twice, but nothing telling me it is unnamed or called "obj"), the end of the "obj" and main object, the end of the "arr" array, and strings for "first_obj_val" and "second_obj_val". I wish I knew the keys / names for any of these.
For example, there's no way of knowing that "first_obj_val" refers to "obj_val" (or better yet, "obj.obj_val") until the very end.
Am I doing it wrong?
