title: Process a continuous stream of JSON
body: <p>The (now defunct) page <a href="http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/sample.json" rel="noreferrer">http://stream.twitter.com/1/statuses/sample.json</a> used to return a continuous and endless stream of JSON data.</p>
  
  <p>I'd like to process it using jQuery (or JavaScript, but preferably jQuery) inside my own web page to be able to display visual effects based on the live feed of tweets.</p>
  
  <p>Since as far as I know the jQuery <code>parseJSON</code> function will only execute the callback function after all the data has been sent by the server, but this is actually a continuous stream of data. How can I process the data "as it happens" but still keep the connection running?</p>
