json-ld files (json line delimited, means one json object per line) are used extensively in data processing. A lot of processing of these json-ld files uses normal builtins instead of special libraries eg in python doing a for line in or a stream map and the standard json lib etc. From a glance at this spec, it seems that where an object ends is no longer something that the normal file processing most languages posse…
What you describe seems to be called line-delimited JSON, LDJSON, NDJSON or JSONL.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
