How do I JSON.stringify a large JSON object without hanging?

Question

I have a massive JSON object (170k lines, around 130Mbs). When running

var stringified = JSON.stringify(jsonObj);

My node.js application hangs and then times out

How can I stringify such a large file without having it timeout?

Turns out the problem wasn't a result of the large JSON, it was something else...

However, in the process I found that you can use lodash _.chunk to split the json into smaller parts for parallel processing.

var arr = _.chunk(largeObj, SIZE_OF_CHUNKS);

And the "something else" was what? – jarmod Sep 25 '19 at 14:13
It was over 4 years ago, I don't remember... but it was not JSON... probably XML or CSV – Adrian E Sep 25 '19 at 14:15
