Description: json-lines
        ==========
        
        This is a tiny library for reading JSON lines (.jl) files,
        including gzipped and broken files.
        
        `JSON lines <http://jsonlines.org/>`_ is a text file format
        where each line is a single json encoded item.
        
        
        Why?
        ----
        
        Reading a well-formed JSON lines file is a one-liner in Python.
        But if the file can be broken (this happens when the process writing
        it is killed), handling all exceptions takes 10x more code, especially
        when the file is compressed.
        
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        ::
        
            pip install json-lines
        
        
        Usage
        -----
        
        In order to read a well-formed json lined file,
        pass an open file as the first argument. The file can be opened
        in text or binary mode, but it it's opened in text mode, the encoding
        must be set correctly::
        
            import json_lines
        
            with open('file.jl', 'rb') as f:
                for item in json_lines.reader(f):
                    print(item['x'])
        
        There is also a helper function ``json_lines.open_file`` that recognizes
        ".gz" and ".gzip" extensions and opens them with ``gzip``::
        Reading files in gzip format ( extensions recognized)::
        
            with json_lines.open_file('file.jl.gz') as f:
                for item in json_lines.reader(f):
                    print(item['x'])
        
        Handling broken (cut at some point) files: read while it's possible
        to decode the compressed stream and parse json,
        silently stopping on the first error (only logging a warning)::
        
            with json_lines.open_file('file.jl.gz') as f:
                for item in json_lines.reader(f, broken=True):
                    print(item['x'])
