I have a JSON file that is as follows. While the file itself seems unnecessarily long for an example, there is a reason I am including it. Basically, it appears to me that my file is too large to go through TCP to my live site.

The Node.js code I am using to parse this is the following:
var express = require('express');
var net = require("net");
var fs = require("fs");
var request = require('request');
var app = express();
var server = net.createServer();
var pack;
app.use(function(req, res, next){
res.header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
next();
});
server.on("connection", function(socket){
pack = "";
socket.setEncoding('utf8');
socket.on("data", function(d){
pack = JSON.parse(d);
console.log(pack.Timestamp.LocalTimestamp);
app.set('dee', d);
app.get("/"+pack.FormatNumber, function(req, res){
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/plain'});
res.write(req.app.get('dee'));
res.end();
});
});
socket.once("close", function(){
console.log("connection closed");
});
});
server.on("error", function(){
console.log("connection error");
});
server.listen(9000, function(){
console.log("Server Listening to Port 9000");
});
app.listen(8081, function(){
});
This JSON file gets sent as a TCP packet to my Node server, which in turn parses it. The code and functionality works perfectly on my localhost environment. However, when attempting to push my JSON file over my Digitalocean Node.js server, I get the following error.
undefined:57
"Cha
^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token C

at Socket.Readable.push (_stream_readable.js:110:10)
at TCP.onread (net.js:523:20)
If I reduce the amount of objects in my JSON array, then passing it to my live server works as intended. I am unclear as to why this is. The TCP packet only parses through a smaller JSON file.
