Description
It would be really handy if the command line tools could support [newline-delimited](http://ndjson.org/) GeoJSON, similar to Tippecanoe, [shp2json](https://github.com/mbostock/shapefile) and the ndjson-cli library.
In theory, processing newline-delimited files means memory is not a constraint, as the entire source GeoJSON doesn't need to be read into memory before processing begins. But I don't know enough about PBF to know whether that's actually true in this instance.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by inspecting the command line tools and how they currently process GeoJSON, then compare the newline-delimited format with Tippecanoe, shp2json, and ndjson-cli. Determine whether PBF processing can stream records without loading the entire source; done means the tools accept newline-delimited GeoJSON while preserving the expected output.
