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 or dates, using the familar parse and stringify methods.

Usage

var jsan = require('jsan');

var obj = {};
obj['self'] = obj;
obj['sub'] = {};
obj['sub']['subSelf'] = obj['sub'];
obj.now = new Date();
var str = jsan.stringify(obj);
str === '{"self":{"$ref":"$"},"sub":{"subSelf":{"$ref":"[\\"sub\\"]"}},"now":{"$ref":{"$date":"2015-03-24T15:08:00.000Z"}}}'; // true
var obj2 = jsan.parse(str);
obj2 === obj2['self']; // true
obj2['sub']['subSelf'] === obj2['sub']; // true
obj2.now instanceof Date; // 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), or dates when stringifing but you can force it to by passing in true as a forth arg:

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\\"]"}}'

obj = {now: new Date()};
var str1 = jsan.stringify(obj) // '{"now":"2015-03-24T15:13:23.291Z"}'
var str2 = jsan.stringify(obj, null, null, true) // '{"now":{"$ref":{"$date":"2015-03-24T15:13:23.291Z"}}}'
