Best Practices for Handling Large JSON Data in JavaScript

JavaScript
1

Hello everyone,

I’m currently working on a project where I need to manage and manipulate large JSON datasets using JavaScript. Given the size of the data, I’m concerned about performance issues and browser responsiveness.

Does anyone have recommendations on efficient ways to handle large JSON data? Specifically, I’m looking for:

  1. Techniques for parsing and processing JSON without slowing down the user interface.
  2. Any specific libraries or tools that could help manage heavy data more efficiently.
  3. Examples of best practices or patterns you’ve successfully implemented in similar scenarios.

Thank you!

This looks like an interesting thread on stackoverflow

Might be worth investigating some of the recommended libraries like D3 and Pyodide.

first response: define large. human scale large and computer scale large are orders of magnitude apart.

Maybe there is a reason why big data is normally handled by databases and not text-files (JSON is nothing different the text-files)
