It's this simple

              
oboe('url')
  .node('pattern', function(data){
    // handler code
  });
              
            

Interact on the fly!

Object Oriented?

              
oboe('/myapp/people')
  .node('people.*', function(person){
    return new Person(person.firstName, person.lastName)
  })
  .done(function(people){
    // OOP people!
  })
              
            

Filtering

              
var onlyPeople = [];

oboe('/myapp/people')
  .node('people.*', function(person){

    if(person.name !== 'Duke'){
      onlyPeople.push(person);
    }

  })

  .done(function(){
    console.log(onlyPeople) // no Duke :(
  })
              
            

Memory efficient

oboe('/myapp/people')
  .node('{ firstName lastName }', function(person){

    // write to the DOM

    return oboe.drop;
  })

  .done(function( finalJson){
    console.log(finalJson); // {"people": []}
  })
            

Fail gracefully!

On the server

              
router.get('/data', function(req, res) {

  var readStream = fetchYourData();

  readStream.pipe(res)
});
              
            

Or don't

In the shell

                
$ cat pipelines.json | node rerun-pipelines.js
              
            

                
oboe(process.stdin)

  .done(function(pipelines){

    pipelines.forEach(rerun)
  })
                
              

What's great?

• Small footprint
• Few dependencies

What's bad?
