/**
 * StreamedJsonResponse represents a streamed HTTP response for JSON.
 *
 * A StreamedJsonResponse uses a structure and generics to create an
 * efficient resource-saving JSON response.
 *
 * It is recommended to use flush() function after a specific number of items to directly stream the data.
 *
 * @see flush()
 *
 * @author Alexander Schranz <alexander@sulu.io>
 *
 * Example usage:
 *
 *     function loadArticles(): \Generator
 *         // some streamed loading
 *         yield ['title' => 'Article 1'];
 *         yield ['title' => 'Article 2'];
 *         yield ['title' => 'Article 3'];
 *         // recommended to use flush() after every specific number of items
 *     }),
 *
 *     $response = new StreamedJsonResponse(
 *         // json structure with generators in which will be streamed
 *         [
 *             '_embedded' => [
 *                 'articles' => loadArticles(), // any generator which you want to stream as list of data
 *             ],
