upload json file and process it

[saptah]

Hi guys,
I'm starting a new project, and I'm using cherrypy for a backend.

One thing though, I'm trying to do an upload of a json file, and I'd like to process this json file 'on the fly' without needing to access the physical file on disk. ¿is this possible?

Thanks!!

"When a client uploads a file to a CherryPy application, it’s placed
on disk immediately."

So the answer is no BUT if you meant that you didn't want to have to
think about saving the file to disk etc. the answer is yes because CP
does it for you so in your upload(file_) method you could probably get
away with json.load(file_.file) if not json.loads(file_.file.read())

OTH

Cheers,

Are you doing the JSON file upload by having the user pick some existing JSON file off his local drive, or are you generating and POSTing the JSON from your JavaScript code?
