### collectJson([callback]) ⇒ [<code>Duplex</code>](https://nodejs.org/api/stream.html#stream_class_stream_duplex) ⏏
**Kind**: Exported function  

| Param | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [callback] | <code>function</code> | called with the collected json data, once available. The value returned by the callback will be passed downstream. |

**Example**  
An example command-line client script - JSON received at stdin is stamped with `received` then written to stdout.
```js
var collectJson = require("collect-json")

process.stdin
    .pipe(collectJson(function(json){
        json.received = true
        return JSON.stringify(json)
    }))
    .on("error", function(err){
        // input from stdin failed to parse
    })
    .pipe(process.stdout)
```
