Tell me more about this "JsonPath".
Does it require reading an entire Json document into memory at once or can it read a stream an object at a time?
|

Full JSON path only works over a loaded document.
However, there is a JsonTextReader that works a lot like XmlReader but it does have extremely fast skip mechanisms, including "SkipToField" that only do a partial parse.
You can use the reader to navigate to the node you want, and then you can call ParseSubtree() to only load that subtree into memory, and then you can use JSON path on that.
The trouble is I didn't implement the JsonPath, someone else did under the MIT license and I'm using it in my code. It's quite cryptic and undocumented so I think i might be able to modify it eventually, but not at the moment. It only works on an in memory model.

I'd be in favor of two articles. One article that goes into all details just might prove to be too much for someone who's only interested in one part or the other. I'd say, write an article that dives into the details of your library, and then the second article (which can link to it) can focus on demonstrating how to use the library in your real-world app.
If I've already your description correctly.

you got it exactly right. this was my first inclination and i'm inclined to go with it after reading all the comments here.
Thanks for your input.

Cool. I'm looking forward to it them.

I'd start writing about one of them and then see if the second flows nicely into that or requires a second artyicle.
GHood kluck, I'll be waiting to read it or them!

1. Happy Birthday!
2. I was thinking of writing a tmdb utility myself... but then I thought someone else would probably do most of the work for me if I waited a bit. So I waited a bit and now... Voila!
3. Two articles would probably be better or one with two distinct parts.

Well, you should be happy with it as it covers all of the v3 api.
It auto manages guest sessions.
It's got dual caching - it does in memory caching on a per-thread basis for the objects - it's aggressive, it doesn't refresh at all - the in memory cache is intended to be used in a batch and then cleared.
And then it has global url based caching where you can set how aggressive it is.
It automatically recovers from TMDb's request limits too, so it will retry requests.
It does automatic paging - you can get a range of pages as a result array in one call.
It exposes the entire thing as an object model perfect for LINQing over.
I'm actually almost done - but I'm going to post it without testing the entire api.
The rationale is I'd rather put out something where a few of the calls don't work then make you wait the month it would take me to write tests for this.
It's really easy to fix, especially the bugs that are likely to crop up (field names and urls)
So that's the one caveat.

Cool! I can hardly wait! 
..actually I can. I have putting off this project for over a year now so a few more days won't make much difference.

I'm excited too. It's a ton of work, but I plan to use it to do very cool yet quasi-legitimate things so it's probably worth the effort.

It will be posted today. I'm working on the article right now.
For now, here's the source.

Is a Tyrannosaurus Rex that sells handguns just a small arms dealer?

It's a common misunderstanding that a Tyrannosaurus Rex can't clap because his arms are so short, but that not true at all!
The real reason a Tyrannosaurus Rex can't clap is that he's extinct!

even then it would've been a bit silly to be wandering around clapping,
all of it's prey (dinner) would have heard it coming and run away.
OIOW / short version: why would a t-rex want to clap anyway?

"Suckehihaw" is from the Osage North American First People's language: it refers to a noxious pest weed that grows aggressively by creeping, and climbing, and can even form thick mats which are difficult to walk over without tripping. It can be used to poison fish, and is known as "devil's shoestrings."
