json-endure

json-endure provides helper methods to the JSON and String classes to make-do with truncated JSON text. It does so by closing double-quotes, brackets and braces, whether the truncation occurs in an array value, hash key, or hash value. These methods may be helpful in a case where you want to examine the first bunch of bytes of a very large file, without downloading all of it.

It will not repair bad JSON encountered before the truncation. All JSON-restoration code has been implemented in Ruby.
