Generator Memory Example

Demonstrates how generators reduce memory usage when processing large files.

Usage

npm install
npm run generate        # Generate test data (default: 100k rows)
npm run generate 500000 # Generate 500k rows
npm run compare         # Run both approaches

Results

With 100k rows (~2.5 MB CSV):

• Array: Loads entire file into memory (~15-20 MB heap)
• Generator: Streams row by row (~3-5 MB heap)

The difference grows linearly with file size.
