lighteriolighter-json
The lighter-json module is a lightweight JavaScript Object Notation utility.
Quick Start
From your project directory, install and save as a dependency:
npm install --save lighter-jsonThen use lighter-json in place of the global JSON object for circular
reference safety and more.
var JSON = require('lighter-json')
// Create a circular reference, if you like.
var object = {}
object.reference = object
// It's OK, you're safe.
var json = JSON.stringify(object)
console.log(json)
//> {"reference":"[Circular 1]"}API
The lighter-json package exports an object with several methods for dealing
with JSON and non-strict JSON. It also populates same-name methods onto the
global JSON object, apart from its stringify method, which is populated as
JSON.safeStringify.
lighterJson.stringify(value[, replacer[, space]])
Perform a JSON stringify operation on a value, using automatic cycle detection if a replacer function is not provided.
lighterJson.parse(json)
Parse a JSON string (using the builtin JSON.parse).
lighterJson.scriptify(value)
Represent a value as non-strict JSON, complete with JS code for re-constructing Date, Error, Function and RegExp values.
lighterJson.evaluate(js)
Evaluate and return a value from a JavaScript string representation. This supports non-strict JSON, so a value (or a deep property) can be a Date, a Function, an Error or a RegExp.
lighterJson.reader(readableStream)
Listen to a readable stream that's not in object mode, and interpret its
lines as JavaScript values (using lighterJson.evaluate).
lighterJson.unreader(readableStream)
Stop listening for values on a readable stream.
lighterJson.writer(writableStream)
Replace the stream's write method with one that accepts objects and writes non-strict JSON.
lighterJson.unwriter(writableStream)
Puts a writable stream's write method back.
lighterJson.colorize(value)
Evaluate and return a value from a JavaScript string representation. This supports non-strict JSON, so a value (or a deep property) can be a Date, a Function, an Error or a RegExp.
