Unraveling the Maze of Large JSON Files: Tips and Tools for Local JSON Parsing
Too Long; Didn't Read
I’m a full-stack web and backend developer and I’m the maintainer of an e-commerce web application. I am sharing my personal story of dealing with large JSON log files. I have a handmade JSON Log engine in the back end of my web application and I save my application logs in a local file in JSON log format. This JSON log file can range from a few MB to several GB in size and processing them is essential for me to understand the system behavior and identify issues. In this post, I explored various options for processing large JSON log files, including programming languages, streaming technologies, distributed computing frameworks, and GUI-based applications.
