Package Exports

jsan
jsan/lib/cycle

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (jsan) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

JavaScript "All The Things" Notation

JSAN

Easily stringify and parse any object including objects with circular references, using the familar parse and stringify methods.

Usage

var jsan = require('jsan');

var obj = {};
obj['self'] = obj;
obj['sub'] = {};
obj['sub']['subSelf'] = obj['sub'];
var str = jsan.stringify(obj);
str === '{"self":{"$ref":"$"},"sub":{"subSelf":{"$ref":"[\\"sub\\"]"}}}'; // true
var obj2 = jsan.parse(str);
obj2 === obj2['self']; // true
obj2['sub']['subSelf'] === obj2['sub']; // true

Now with 100% less eval!

Note

This ulitilty has been heavily optimized and performs as well as the native JSON.parse and JSON.stringify. It doesn't by default handle self references (non-circular) when stringifing but you can tell check by passing in true as a forth param:

var obj = {};
var subObj = {};
obj.a = subObj;
obj.b = subObj;
var str1 = jsan.stringify(obj) // '{"a":{},"b":{}}'
var str2 = jsan.stringify(obj, null, null, true) // '{"a":{},"b":{"$ref":"[\\"a\\"]"}}'
