hessian.js

Hessian Serialization 1.0 written by pure JavaScript. Support all kind of types in Java.

Install

npm install hessian.js

Support Types

8 primitive types:

1. raw binary data
2. boolean
3. 64-bit millisecond date
4. 64-bit double
5. 32-bit int
6. 64-bit long
7. null
8. UTF8-encoded string

3 recursive types:

1. list for lists and arrays
2. map for maps and dictionaries
3. object for objects

one special contruct:

1. ref for shared and circular object references

Encoder

Simple javascript type

var hessian = require('hessian.js');
var encoder = new hessian.Encoder();

encoder.write(1); // int
encoder.write(1.1); // double
encoder.write(1e100); // double
encoder.write(Math.pow(2, 18)); // long
encoder.write(true); // boolean
encoder.write(null); // null
encoder.write('test'); // string

// java base types
encoder.write(hessian.java.long(3001010320)); // 3001010320L
encoder.write(hessian.java.double(100)); // double
encoder.write(hessian.java.intList([0, 1, 2])); // int[] = {0, 1, 2}

var object = {};
object.prop1 = [1, 2, 3];
object.prop2 = 'string';
object.prop3 = {key: 'value'};
object.prop4 = object;  // circular
encoder.write(object); // object

Complex java type

var hessian = require('hessian.js');
var encoder = new hessian.Encoder();

var long = {
  $class: 'java.lang.Long',
  $: 1
}
encoder.write(long); // long type

var testObject = {
  $class: 'com.hessian.TestObject',
  $: {
    a: 1,
    b: 'test',
    c: {$class: 'java.lang.Long', $: 123}
  }
};
encoder.write(testObject);

Decoder

var hessian = require('hessian.js');
var decoder = new hessian.Decoder(buf);

decoder.read(); //return what it is
decoder.readNull();
decoder.readBool();
decoder.readInt();
decoder.readLong();
decoder.readDouble();
decoder.readDate();
decoder.readObect();
decoder.readMap();
decoder.readArray();
decoder.readList();
decoder.readRef();

Simple Usage

var hessian = require('hessian.js');

var testObject = {
  a: 1,
  b: 'string',
  c: true,
  d: 1.1,
  e: Math.pow(2, 40),
  f: [1, 2, 3, '4', true, 5],
  g: {a: 1, b: true, c: 'string'}
};

var buf;
try {
  buf = hessian.encode(testObject);
} catch (err) {
  console.log('encode error: ', err.message);
  process.exit(1);
}

try {
  var res = hessian.decode(buf);
  // res.should.eql(testObject);
} catch (err) {
  console.log('decode error: ', err.message);
}

TODO

1. more unit test, include test with other language.
2. benchmark test.
3. maybe support hessian 2.x.

Hessian Serialization 2.0 has 3 internal reference maps:

1. An object/list reference map.
2. An class definition reference map.
3. A type (class name) reference map.
