@brillout/json-serializer v0.5.15

@brillout/json-serializer

Same as JSON but with added support for:

• Date
• undefined
• Set
• Map
• BigInt
• RegExp
• NaN
• Infinity

JSON is a good serializer for JavaScript values but is lacking some JavaScript types such as Date:

!INLINE /examples/date_json.js --hide-source-path

Whereas with @brillout/json-serializer:

!INLINE /examples/date_json-serializer.js --hide-source-path

Full Example

Example exposing all differences between JSON and @brillout/json-serializer.

!INLINE /examples/json-serializer.js

To run the example:

$ git clone git@github.com:brillout/json-serializer
$ cd json-serializer
$ npm install
$ npm run self-link
$ node ./examples/json-serializer.js

The npm run self-link is required to be able to self require('@brillout/json-serializer').

How it Works

Let's see how @brillout/json-serializer serializes an object:

!INLINE /examples/inspect.js

@brillout/json-serializer is based on JSON while using prefixed strings for unsupported types.

@brillout/json-serializer uses the native JSON.parse and JSON.stringify functions while modifying the serialization of unsupported types.
