I have a grid in a browser. I want to send rows of data

I have a grid in a browser.

I want to send rows of data to the grid via JSON, but the browser should continuously parse the JSON as it receives it and add rows to the grid as they are parsed. Put another way, the rows shouldn’t be added to the grid all at once after the entire JSON object is received — they should be added as they are received.

Is this possible? Particularly using jQuery, Jackson, and Spring 3 MVC?

Does this idea have a name? I only see bits of this idea sparsely documented online.

    You can’t parse incomplete or invalid JSON using the browser’s JSON.parse. If you are streaming text, it will invariably try and parse invalid JSON at some point which will cause it to fail. There exists streaming JSON parsers out there, you might be able to find something to suit your needs.

    Easiest way in your case would remain to send complete JSON documents for each row.
