The problem consists in extracting data from a JSON file too big to be parsed / hold in memory as a whole.
The file is a valid JSON file, consisting in an array of objects. The structure of objects is not known, apart from the fact that they have an id and a name attributes.
The formatting of the file is not known: it may be a single line file, or formatted using a variety of whitespace options.
The problem consists in writing a Node.js program which must:
- accept an
idas a command-line argument - log to the console the
nameattribute of the object with the corresponding id.
To simulate low memory constraints, your program should work with node --max_old_space_size=50
