Looping through JSON with node.js

Question

I have a JSON file which I need to iterate over, as shown below...

{
    \"device_id\": \"8020\",
    \"data\": [{
        \"Timestamp\": \"04-29-11 05:22:39         


        

Answer 1

If you want to avoid blocking, which is only necessary for very large loops, then wrap the contents of your loop in a function called like this: process.nextTick(function(){}), which will defer execution until the next tick, giving an opportunity for pending calls from other asynchronous functions to be processed.
