Akka Http and consuming a response of "application/stream+json" type

[Michael Kohout]

Hi All-

I'm writing an application that must consume from a HTTP endpoint that publishes a streaming response(the source app is using project reactor/spring webflux).

I don't see any docs in the Akka-HTTP project that seem to map to my use case.  Does anyone know if it's possible to use akka http's Http class to handle this response?

thanks

Mike

Hi Michael,

I assume your question is about how to get a Source[MyType] from such streamed incoming entity?

The streaming and backpressure itself is “always on”, so the missing bit is the marshalling — you are right we didn’t document it very well,

so I went ahead and added the docs: https://github.com/akka/akka-http/pull/1964 

Hope this helps! Let me know if I missed the point of the question; Please feel free to review the above PR with docs as well of course.

Happy hakking
