Read and write one line at a time to execute with low memory usage.

For better performance, you can also read and write on multiple lines.

{"test": "001"}
{"test": "002"}
{"test": "003"}
{"test": "004"}

Read one line at a time

use Sunaoka\Ndjson\NDJSON;

$ndjson = new NDJSON('/path/to/file.ndjson');

while ($json = $ndjson->readline()) {
    var_dump($json);
}

array(1) {
  ["test"]=>
  string(3) "001"
}
array(1) {
  ["test"]=>
  string(3) "002"
}
array(1) {
  ["test"]=>
  string(3) "003"
}
array(1) {
  ["test"]=>
  string(3) "004"
}
array(1) {
  ["test"]=>
  string(3) "005"
}

Read 3 lines at a time

use Sunaoka\Ndjson\NDJSON;

$ndjson = new NDJSON('/path/to/file.ndjson');

foreach ($ndjson->readlines(3) as $jsons) {
    var_dump($jsons);
}

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  array(1) {
    ["test"]=>
    string(3) "001"
  }
  [1]=>
  array(1) {
    ["test"]=>
