Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Archive note (2024)

This project is now archived. As of 2024, no code changes have been made in 5 years, and I (Jim) have not had the time to port it to new technology, or maintain it in a way that it deserves.

For existing projects using this code, it should continue to work, but I would recommend looking for other solutions.

I (Jim) still think there is a clear gap in the market for a streaming-first JSON parser that doesn't wait for responses to finish before it starts using them. For anyone who is interested in making that project, reach out and I'd be happy to discuss. Today, with modern javascript and typescript (ie async iterators), a much nicer modern API could be made than the one I created in 2013.

Many thanks to JuanCaicedo and Aigeec in particular for continuing to contribute fixes and modernise this project through to ~2020.

The Oboe.js website has been ported to a static site Github Pages, and the plan is to keep it online with a deprecation notice.

The original README follows below.


Oboe.js is an open source Javascript library for loading JSON using streaming, combining the convenience of DOM with the speed and fluidity of SAX.

It can parse any JSON as a stream, is small enough to be a micro-library, doesn't have dependencies, and doesn't care which other libraries you need it to speak to.

We can load trees larger than the available memory. Or we can instantiate classical OOP models from JSON, or completely transform your JSON while it is being read.

Oboe makes it really easy to start using json from a response before the ajax request completes. Or even if it never completes.

Where next?
