How to parse large JSON in PHP?

Question

PHP

Good day friends! There is a 160Mb JSON file, you need to parse it, preferably using php. json_decode runs into memory limits, although it costs memory_limit = -1. What are the alternative options?

Answer 1

Technologically, this is solved in two ways.
For the second option see https://github.com/salsify/jsonstreamingparser

Answer 2

How often do these files need to be parsed? Maybe you should take another tool, not php?
