Question

JSON.parse before the request is completed is leading to parse errors

Opened this issue 8 years ago · 2 comments

Since JSON.parse is being used before the request is completed, it is leading to parse errors, because the data is sent as chunks (strings). A fix would be to add the JSON.parse in res.on('end') instead of res.on('data'), after appending all the chunks in the res.on('data').
