I'll need to change that to be something that I can easily measure progress through. Also I should change its name - `json_file` is a bad name when it sometimes handles `csv` or `tsv` instead.

It looks like the argument provided by `click.File` doesn't provide a way to read the size of the file, so I need to switch that out for a file path instead. https://click.palletsprojects.com/en/7.x/api/#click.Path","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",707478649,

I'd prefer to keep that as an optional dependency though, since `sqlite-utils` is a library dependency for many other projects and it would be using `ijson` purely for the CLI component.

Here's how to iterate through a list of objects being read from a file:

```python
import json
parser = ijson.items(open(
    ""/tmp/list.json""
), ""item"")
for object in parser:

I was thinking about this, while inserting a stream of ~40M line-delimited json docs. Wouldn't a `--total-expected` flag work ? 

That's [how tqdm does it](https://github.com/tqdm/tqdm/blob/fc69d5dcf578f7c7986fa76841a6b793f813df35/tqdm/std.py#L366)","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",707478649,
