LazyDom

[zslayton]

Rather than materializing the complete tree eagerly, allow users to create a LazyValue that only parses the input buffer as much as is necessary to satisfy the method call at hand.

@zslayton any ETA on this? This could be huge for in-browser use/adoption.

Hi @jfuehner, did you ever get a chance to try the interim solution that I described in issue #594?

I agree that this feature would be great to have. However, this has not yet been prioritized. If anyone is interested in implementing it, I'd be happy to talk through design options.

@zslayton thanks for the quick response. In terms of the interim solution are you referring to using a Reader?

I’m sure that would work. Just not ideal from my optic as it would make the client code brittle should a change to the underlying data structure occur from our service. Also, it would mean our client code would need to have a deep understanding of the data structures.
