1465230135,I_kwDOAMm_X85XVaM3,7324,Memory issues arising when trying to make dataArray values JSON serializable,83403825,closed,0,,,2,2022-11-26T18:54:06Z,2023-09-12T15:18:14Z,2023-09-12T15:18:13Z,NONE,,,,"### What is your issue?

Need to return the data values in a JSON serializable format, calling `.tolist` and `.to_dict` consume so much memory that it produces a `Memory Error`

When trying to get the data values via the 2 methods above from a dataset the size of `831 MiBs` the system memory being used jumped to `43 G` before crashing (on a system of `64 G` memory capacity). Producing a `Memory Error`

Need more memory efficient way of returning final data values.

Addressed in the following PR: https://github.com/pydata/xarray/pull/7323","{""url"": ""https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/7324/reactions"", ""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,completed,13221727,issue

- `data_to_list_save_memory` 
- `_genlist`
 
`data_to_list_save_memory` returns a list of data values from a given Xarray.DataArray. 
Creates a list of data values as data values from the original Xarray.DataArray is removed (saving memory)

`_genlist` provides a generator (Most memory efficient)

Useful when returning data values in json format of large datasets after the dataset no longer in use to avoid memory issues. The function is more efficient than `to_dict()` regarding memory usage when calling for just the data values.
